Hello All,

anyone here able to run vmware2 (port as of today) on a current
system (again as of today)?

I am always getting "Could not get address of vmnet1"

I was reading something about this two weeks ago, but without solution.

I have linked /dev/vmnet1 to /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1.

When I start vmware with truss, I get the following (at least to me)
strange looking (truncated) output:

read(0x4,0xbfbfed48,0x20)                        = 3 (0x3)
linux_open("/dev/vmnet1",2050,027757773754)      = 3 (0x3)
linux_ioctl(0x15,0x8915,0x834f68c)               ERR#22 'Invalid argument'
linux_open("èÔ^Fáµ^P3Û^O½Øt^U^O³Ø\x83û^Nu^Eèõëë^AC^KÀ£µ^Pu^O^FP¸@",0,0666) = 3
(0x3)
linux_newfstat(22,0xbfbfb458)                    = 2 (0x2)
linux_mmap(0xbfbfb4a8)                           = 1 (0x1)
read(0x16,0x35d77000,0x2000)                     = 3 (0x3)
read(0x16,0x35d77000,0x2000)                     = 3 (0x3)
close(22)                                        = 1 (0x1)
munmap(0x35d77000,0x2000)                        = 2 (0x2)
linux_open("Ä
\x8d^^^O^Aj",0,0666)                     ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_open("/usr/share/locale/de_DE.ISO8859-1/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo",0,05022412214


I guess the problem is the linux_ioctl call in the third line.
I have tried to use linux_ioctl.c 1.70 instead of the current version
(1.71) but that did not do any change.

Any hints?

Michael
