Bug 322245 – app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.2[4-6] doesn't compile with kernel >=2.6.34

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Fabio Rossi 2010-05-31 14:45:33 UTC]

All vmware-modules ebuilds in the tree don't work with the new 2.6.34 kernel due to a new net helper introduced here:

I'm attaching the needed patches.

Hi all

FWIW: Yes, this bug is still there.

tried with vanilla-sources-2.6.35_rc6 and vmware-modules-1.0.0.26 as of Aug 2nd 2010, an it bites.

Had no problems with 2.6.34, so suggest changing summary to:
app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.2[4-6] doesn't compile with kernel >2.6.34

patch is in the tree. Thanks.

The ebuild only checks for 2.6.35 and not for >= 2.6.35. 
2.6.36 (and I'm guessing all future versions) needs the patch as well.
