still the same.
thanks

Well, i'm sure that i replaced the file correctly, but just did it one more time.
Still the same output:

I'm very pleased to hear that. The patch should replace direct access to the skb struct as functions were introduced to accomplish this starting with 2.6.22 (I think).

I hope all the sensitive parts were caught but as I'm not very familiar with the kernel sources (and the modifications to them), it was more hit or miss

I am still having no success with Gutsy, here is my error:

VMNet error seems to have gone away but I now have a VMMon error. Any ideas?

Paladine

Paladine,

Having the same problem. See http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=86829&tstart=100

Hope it will be solved when 2.6.22 is released.

Good luck.

Are there any interesting entries in dmesg? With my kernel (Gutsy 2.6.22-something) everything works well; no networking problems, no freezes.
