Description:   Opened: 2005-02-07 23:05 0000 
The vmware-tools package under ESX installs a key networking module, vmxnet,
while setting up other vmware thingies.  The module can not just be put in
/etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.x because the vmware-tools init will
deactivate/reload the module causing the network interface to crash. 
vmware-tools needs to be started/depended on by net.eth0 for esx vm's.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install vmware esx
2.create a gentoo vm w/ vmxnet interface
3.install vmware tools
4. Notice that booting up causes eth0 to be completly messed up
5. create a vmware.init script and have net.eth0 depend on it
6. Notice that booting now works properly

Actual Results:  
see above

This needs to be modifed under baselayout.  It just looks like net.eth0 needs
to "use vmware-tools"...

no, update the vmware init script to have 'before net' in it
