Re: compiling VMnet with 2.4.3 kernels



Ariel,

Someone on the VMWare newsgroups is holding a patch that you should apply 
(actually with 2.4.2ac13 and up) in order to make it work..

Contact them there: news server - news.vmware.com

I'm nagging VMWare team to move their ass to release an update to their 
modules to work with 2.4.3 and above (ac's patches or Linux 2.4.3+ patches). 
So far - I'm waiting...

Hetz
