I'm running WindRiver Linux with changed open-vmtools. I've changed IP retrieving mechanism to do it directly(don't use usual IOCTLs). I mean I've added function to save what we need in the struct nicInfo. After that it works like usual, i.e. send this struct to GuestInfoUpdateVmdb. It works fine for one VM, I can see the full list in Summary tab. But for another VM - I don't. I'm trying to understand differences but see that VMX files are the same. It's very strange.
