VMware – Vmnet Surprise in Kernel 6.4.10.. and a Fix..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

Kernel 6.4.10 includes a backported change from the 6.5-rc branch, and this breaks the vmnet 17.0.2 compile.. The fix is to replicate the same logic from the 6.5 ‘tmp’ branch, at https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/blob/tmp/workstation-17.0.2-k6.5/vmnet-only/bridge.c – around line 47..    For some odd reason, this did not behave correctly on my system, and so I modified/simplified the kernel-version-test portion of … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

I did find that at least one of the older … Continue reading →
