I am. Here's the relevant section from my BootScripts:
function TestNetwork() {
for i in `seq 10`
do
Network Start && return 0
usleep 500000
done
return 1
}
Exec "Initializing network..." Fork 'network' TestNetwork
Exec "Setting time..." Fork 'ntpdate' Wait
'network' ntpdate pool.ntp.org
Exec "VMWare modules and network setup..." Fork 'vmware' Wait
'network' StartTask vmware &
I suppose the network hack is needed because of udev synchronization
issues, but I never bothered to look deeply into the issue.
