Re: vmware in Linux 2.6

VMWare:

You'll need to edit /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

   1. Replace all occurances of /proc/ksyms with /proc/kallsyms
   2. Untar vmnet.tar in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
          * Edit bridge.c
          * On line 368, change: atomic_add(skb->truesize, 
&sk->wmem_alloc); into atomic_add(skb->truesize, &sk->sk_wmem_alloc);<
          * On line 618, change protinfo into sk_protinfo
          * Likewise, on line 817, change protinfo into sk_protinfo
   3. Tar the vmnet directory, and replace vmnet.tar
   4. Run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl - it should run without a problem.
