Hi,
Just apdated my Fedora kernel to 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 from 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 and was (as usual) informed that I needed to rerun vmware-config.pl since the vmware modules were not correct for my new kernel.
Unforunately I got acompile error alraedy in the modules section.
Sifing through the forums, I found a patch for this (http://linux.netmail.ru/vmnet-only-2.6.22.patch.bz). Applying this made the first step (the vmcore modules) compile correctly and load into the kernel.
Unfortunately step 2 (compiling the network modules) spews out warnings and finaly fails.
See attacched output.
I'm not familiar with the support structure of this site -- is there a place to download patches?
Thnx in advance

You have already setup networking.
Would you like to skip networking setup and keep your old settings as they are?
