I needed this change since about two months now, IIRC. Since about two weeks this no longer enough, however. I now get "Could not open /dev/vmnet1: Device not configured" when I start VMWare2. I also tried to update /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 to match the /dev/vmnet1, and that got me just a litte bit farther. I now get "Could not get address for /dev/vmnet1: Invalid argument Failed to configure ethernet0." I added some printf's to linux_ioctl.c, and it seems the linux_ioctl_socket() gets a device name which is "", i.e. the empty string. I am clueless as to where to go next. >=20 > 2) after that i tried to recompile/reinstall the vmware2 port and ran into >=20 > /usr/ports/emulators/vmware2/work/vmware-distrib/vmmon-only/freebsd/ \ > hostif.c:177: invalid type argument of `unary *' I didn't get that error, and I am also building from source. Did you CVSUP recently? My VMWare2 Makefile is version 1.41, dated. 2001/11/11 08:36:28. --=20 Gr=FC=DFe, Georg.
