Configuring VMWare Workstation 8 for PFSense Installation

[kinger]

Ive had some stability issues since updating to 2.0.1 on AMD architecture. Prior to this my WMware+Pfsense setup worked flawlessly.

Since the update after a couple of days of uptime it starts acting up (can't access various pages of the webgui, ssh goes down, WAN goes down but WAN2 stays up, all sorts of odd behaviour). After a reboot things clear up for a few days then rinse and repeat.

I found another PFsense thread by someone with a similar problem: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=47354.0

I tried to fix located here: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Tuning_and_Troubleshooting_Network_Cards - but whoever wrote the fix in the wiki was mistake, you cannot do as he suggests and set "hw.em.num_queues=1"

Any ideas? Should I just go back to 2.0 or should I perhaps try one of the new experimental builds? The funny thing is that I can generally fix the problem even when I'm not home by remoting into the Windows 7 Machine through WAN2 and rebooting the VM. However, I would much rather just see it work all the time.
