Description Gertjan Zwartjes 2003-10-09 07:02:05 UTC

Because the 'data' parameter of packet_type changed to 'af_packet_priv',
bridge.c does not compile anymore in vmnet.tar. A new patch must be added to.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge development-sources-2.6.0-test7
2. Run vmware-config.pl
3.

Actual Results:  
Error compiling bridge.c, lines 601 and 827. Member data does not exist.

Expected Results:  
Compile the vmnet kernel module.

You can fix this easily by patching bridge.c in vmnet.tar. Change the 'data'
member in lines 601 and 827 into af_packet_priv and everything works fine again.

There is a new vmware-any-any-update at http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/
version number 42 which also solves the problem.
