Hello,

I found that VMWare does not work with Linux module MFC
candiate patch.

When I configure VMWare's network as Host-Only, VMWare get
error on power-up and not work.
Error dialog say:
    Could not get address for /dev/vmnet1: Invalid argument
    Failed to configure ethernet0.

After unload new linux.ko and load old one, it works.

Acrobat Reader and Linux-Netscape Navigator works well with
patch.

I'm using 4.4-STABLE around Oct 22.

Thanks,

Koshin Sumitani
