Do > not know for RHEL 5. Any info on this? open-vm-tools provides also the following kernel modules: - vmblock - vmci - vmhgfs - vmsync - vmxnet - vsock Their build is disabled here, for the reasons given above. Only vsock is already available in vanilla kernel (>2.6.32, so not in RHEL6). vmxnet is not available, whereas vmxnet3 is in the kernel for a long time. Those two drivers don't support anyway the same virtual net devices. vmblock is required to handle drag-and-drop file copy in WorkStation and Player. open-vm-tools could integrate "as if" the Fedora repos, but its support would be very limited. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
