Hello
I installed a vmware workstation 5.5
I installed a FC4 over the vmware wks
I installed the tools provided with vmware wks 5.5 on the fc4
I picked up the vmware-tools tgz file
I installed them on the FC4 in the esx server
They compiled and loaded fine
I changed modprobe.conf as indicated
I stopped the vm
I changed the nic from vlance to vmxnet
I rebooted the vm
It WORKS !!!
I had a very quick test with an ftp (650MB file) which transfered at 27
mbps (much mode than the 10 mbps limit of the vlance nic)
hope it will help others

You probably already know that FC is not officially a supported guest
OS under ESX.
I compiled from source, even latest version, the module compiles and
loads fine, the interface show up fine too, but the RX paquet count
desperately stays at 0, meaning the interface can't receive anything
any tip or advice ?
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.
