You probably already know that FC is not officially a supported guest
OS under ESX.

I've seen this a lot with Linux running on ESX (particularly on
non-supported systems). You should probably stick with vlance if
network bandwidth isn't critical.

You could manually try:

rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet

and manually set the IP-address.

Also, you might want to check out the VMware Discussions Forums.
