Posted article here which addresses it: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-343951-highlight-.html Summary: Change this line in vmware-config.pl [which searches output of ifconfig for data]: /^eth\d+\s+[^:]/ to match something other than just ^eth, perhaps change to /^*eth\d+\s+[^:]/ or similar Reasons: With UDEV I re-name my ethernet devices [especially on laptops] to reflect where they are, examples might be obeth0 for on-board ethernet, obwlan0 for onboard Wireless, dseth0 for docking station ethernet, etc. Also, as I know as of know we can't use vmware bridge to wireless on VMWare Workstation for linux hosts, I don't think there's reason to search for devices like I showed in the example like "obwlan0" but maybe someone has a better idea? Also, don't know license on vmware-config.pl script so perhaps VMware wouldn't let it be changed in an official release from Gentoo? [IANAL just curious :-) ] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: n/a - enhancment request Actual Results: n/a - enhancment request Expected Results: n/a - enhancment request n/a - enhancment request
File this with VMWare, please.
