VMware 1.0.X for Linux Patch to Support Newer Linux Kernels
After upgrading my Linux box to a newer version of Fedora, I noticed that my VMWare now refuses to build the networking kernel modules because of a problem with a networking checksum kernel define. My current platform is:
Linux Distribution: Fedora Core 6
Linux Kernel: 2.6.19-1.2895_1.fc6.cubbi_suspend2
VMWare Version: 1.0.1-29996
The fix is very well documented here. However, it is too crufty for the average joe to use. So, I create a small script that can be executed for patch the kernel module sources to support newer kernels. The script can be downloaded here: vmware-kernel-2.6.19-checksum-fix.sh. So, just download this script and run as root. Now, you can do a vmware-config.pl.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
