nice!
It also still works for VMware,<snip>
since when?
I can't use vmplayer with 2.6.15-1.2041_FC5, because of
The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the
same
address space size as your running kernel.
I've read this topic:

Patched vmmon and vmnet, all went fine except patching vmware-config.pl:
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line

It looks like you have some bad characters in the patch. Edit it with
your favorite editor or try the patch again. Here is the stuff again:
From a Tom London message on this list:
There is a bug in the vmware-config.pl script that is exposed by
changes to the newer kernel headers.
I've reported this to vmware:
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=31877&tstart=0
Here is the patch described there:

I am able to build a vmware 5.5 system with a couple of patches to vmware.
One is in the makefile.kernel in vmmon and vmnet directory. The other is
the patch above. See the vmware forum for the latest. I am also building
on a x86_64 box. Also make sure you have the kernel-devel rpm installed.
