Kernel 3.18-r5 – Bigger than -rc4..
Just installed Kernel 3.18-rc5 on the test system, and the latest NVIDIA drivers – 340.58 and 346.16 – and VMware 10.0.3 – with the vmnet patch – compile and load OK..

Just installed the kernel 3.18rc5 on my ASUS TP300LA, running Mint 17. All is good, but having problems with VMWare. Downloaded the latest Workstation 10.0.4, but the modules don;t compile. In your blog you mention that the patch for VM worked. Which patch have you used? I can’t fine any for the 3.18 kernel. Would appreciate advice…

Yes, I just tried 10.0.4, and it doesn’t seem to fix any Linux-related issues! I have added an article on this, including vmnet patch details from my September post..
