Version number is hex value written to vmxnet3 emulation, thus 0x1040b00
is correct (0x0b = 11). The VERSION_STRING should have previously been
"1.4.10.0-k", this patch rectifies that by setting correct value
"1.4.11.0-k".

I will let John Savanyo (cc'ed) comment on having the version in the
driver part.
