I am in the process of integrating your expat and perl-XML patches; thank you! > The kernel module for vmxnet comes with the esx|gsx server and I > suppose it's not available for download on vmware's > website. Therefore I've just put the sources on my webspace [1]. The instructions here: http://www.vmware.com/support/esx/doc/install_guest_esx.html ...include a link to the driver tarball here: http://www.vmware.com/software/esx/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz Unfortunately, this appears to be an old version. Unless we can get a stable and public URL from which to download, or a copy of some kind of open source license for the code (so we can bundle it), I do not think I can add this to the distribution. That said, I downloaded it from your site and looked over the Makefile. It looks like you should be able to make it build using something like: make HEADER_DIR=$(cwd)/$(linux)/include Then you can copy the .ko module to stage1/lib/modules/... and figure out how to run "depmod" to rebuild the modules.dep file. Convince VMware to release the driver as a public download and/or under a GPL-compatible license and I will do this myself... - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
