Oh, I wasn't clear.

Can you assigned vmxnet3s1 to your LX zone?  If not, I get it.  It doesn't need to be physical, but it needs to be "not a vNIC".  vmxnet counts as a "native NIC" in this case.

Another experiment you can try to prove my VMware-host-is-the-problem hypothesis is to create a boring old ipkg or lipkg zone, and see if networking works or not in it.

A beer says you can't get networking with a vnic to work in a regular zone as well.
