See:
http://www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=873
and there's a more recent version of the patch that it refers to (which
I haven't tried yet) at:
http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update25.tar.gz
I've used v23 of the patch and it works, sort of, but it doesn't fix
the error message when shutting down the VM. My host-only networking
is broken (outgoing packets appear on the network, incoming packets
don't reach the VM), but it might not be related to this patch.
Apparently it's a common problem with Intel EEPro100 cards, so I'll try
a different network card to see if it helps. I have a spare 3Com card
around here somewhere ...
Cheers,
John
