Hi,
after upgrading to kernel 3.2.0 today, vmware WKS 8.0.1 module compilation failed for me. Symptoms similar to what is described in
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/335855
I fetched the patch and script that was posted there, but patching failed for hunk #3 and #4 of vmnet-only/netif.c. Brief glance let me believe that those were already present, so I removed them. Build was OK and WKST seems to be running.
It would be good, if the original author of the patch could have a closer look of course. My patch attached.
A suggestion maybe: create the pathces as in "diff -u" format. At least *I* can read them better :-)
Oh- yeah: Happy New Year 2012 !!!
Cheers
Martin
