In my experience, as long as you only have on pNIC per vSwitch, it
works just fine. As soon as you add a second pNIC to the vSwitch, it
creates a loop and confuses the linux bridge (you can watch the MAC
bounce between ports if you do a standard ping from one machine and a
broadcast ping from another machine). We were using Broadcom NICs.
