Extract the file /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar Edit the files vmnet-only/bridge.c and vmnet-only/userif.c and replace all occurrences of CHECKSUM_HW with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE Tar up the directory vmnet-only to vmnet.tar and replace the original with the patched version. I'm not totally sure that CHECKSUM_COMPLETE is the correct replacement, but it seems to work for me. This of course in addition to the removal of the #include <config.h> in procfs.c. -- Sjoerd Mullender
