Hi!

For VMware 3.2 the vmware-net build with new kernel fails with syntax 
errors (it was OK with RH7.1)

A patch has been shown on several mailing list archives. I tried to 
run the patch but got the following error msg:

patching file /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar

Hunk #1 FAILED at 1485.

1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file 
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar.rej

and the contents of rej file:

-    for_each_task(p) {
      if (VNetProcessOwnsPort(p, port)) {
         len += sprintf(buf+len, "%d", p->pid);
         if (seen) {

What is going wrong? I am not used to Linux patch error - I had my 
patching experiences on VAX/VMS and 390/MVS years ago, but no with 
Unix...  Anybody else patched VMware for RH9??

I would be very grateful for any help! Thanks!

Hi again!

I made the patch manually (by editing the module source with vi) and 
after that the vmware-config.pl produced modules that were OK with RH9. 
So no VMware 4.0 necessary.
