What I mean by support tools is the VMware support tools cd. If you look in the vmware support directory. ie /usr/local/vmware, you will see several .iso images. mount the linux one and install the support tools .tar.gz source that's in there. Under your vmware console, click on VM-install support tools.
Hope this helps clear that up.

Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 10:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: VMWare Network Interface driver needed. I've moved my [working] LFS 6.3 from real SATA to VMWARE (Server 1.0.4)SCSI. I added the BusLogic SCSI support in the kernel and it boots fine. However, it can't find eth0. lspci says: "Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 10)". I've enabled all AMD<anything> I can find in the kernel, and no joy. Anyone know how to see the VMWare virtualized NIC? The LFS-Live CD sees it fine. Dan Barker _________________________________________________________________ Enabling them in the kernel should have done it. Try installing the support tools as they contain source for kernel modules for the PCNET and VLANCE cards. Loren Foret ---------------------------------------------------------------- Lovely word, "should". PCNET is enabled. LANC does not appear in my .config, on or off, except inside of BALANCE. I'm not sure what you mean by "support tools". net-tools, libtool and module-iinit-tools are all installed (I was deep into X in blfs before I had to move the machine). Is there a package I need to install to make VLANCE be there? What? Whatever it is, the Live CD doesn't need it. My old Slackware 2.4 doesn't need it. dmesg | grep eth shows "eth0: registered as Pcnet/PCI II 79C970A" which is encouraging, but the network won't activate ("eth0 not found"). -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
