hi everybody.
i use vmware workstation 8 in fedora 16 that kernel 3.2 install on it.
i want to ask if there is a patch for vmware workstation 8 for kernel 3.2.
thanks ahead . nir.
look there
The patch is for 8.0.1. How about 8.0.2?
Are there any patch for VMware Tools and Fedora 16 guest?
bye
did you try vmware 8.0.2 in fedora 16 with kernel 3.2???
I've tried it.
WS 8.0.2 will not build all its drivers against the v3.2.1 Fedora 16 kernel, nor will the posted 8.0.1 patch apply to the 8.0.2 module source code.
No way, VMware Tools 8.8.2 fails compiling vmxnet module.
CC [M] /tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.o
/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.c: In function âvmxnet_probe_deviceâ:
/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.c:1008:7: error: unknown field ndo_set_multicast_list specified in initializer
...
Does anyone know where to get a patch?
bye
I tried the 8.0.0 patch and was told to change it to 8.0.2 but VMnet still fails to compile! Is there any patch that works with Fedora 16 kernel 3.2.1????
Here's a working patch for workstation 7.1.5, have tested on F16 with kernel 3.2.1
(derived from the v7 and v8 patches on http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress)
Regards,
Jon
can you create a sh file or update the script?
Hi, I've made no change to the 7.x installation script from that blog (except for the change in patch file name)...
i talking about the sh file to the patch to vmware 8.0.2 becuase when i change the name to the "workstation-8.0.2_linux-3.2.patch" it write me
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

Sorry, I didn't describe the way I aplied the patch. And you are correct, this a diff, not a patch. My mistake. I enclosed a new file.
I first installed the standard installer
sh ./VMware-Workstation-Full-8.0.2-591240.x86_64.bundle
then applied the patch.
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
tar xfv vmnet.tar
patch -p0 < ~/workstation-8.0.2_linux-3.2.patch
tar cfv vmnet.tar vmnet-only/
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
For an unknown reason, I get this error when stating the vmware service, but it seems to be working anyway .. who knows why.
Virtual ethernet failed
Thanks for your feedback.
Is there a patch for VMware Tools and Linux guest?
here is a patch that i found work perfectly for me

Awesome!
Thank you very much. VMware-8.02 now runs perfectly on my up to date F16 (kernel 3.2.2-1) on both my x64 workstation and 32 bit laptop.
Cheers

Just change references to 8.0.1 to 8.0.2 and 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 in the shell script. It will work fine
Fyi, I still need to apply this patch for latest version of the VMware Workstation 8.0.4 on a 3.2 kernel
for kernel 3.4 look at:
and modify file "filesystem.c"
