I didn't use vmware for a few weeks so I don't exactly know since when it is. My problem is that I can only use vmware once. The vmnet1 device stays open and so the second time I start vmware it can't open the device (makes sense ofcourse). The question is why it doesn't close. By ktracing vmware I do see that close() is called on the /dev/vmnet1 filedescriptor and the call succeeds. I'm planning to track this further down to see where the close fails. It doesnt seem to be a generic tap(4) problem as opening and closing from the commandline works fine. It would be nice if someone could ack this behaviour.
