Here's the result, and this is nothing to yell hurrah for :-)
# locate vmnet.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.3-default/misc/vmnet.ko
lajka3:~ # /etc/init.d/vmware start
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor failed
Virtual ethernet failed
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 failed
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) done
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) done
NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 failed
lajka3:~ # lsmod | grep vmnet
vmnet 45484 12
lajka3:~ # modprobe vmnet
FATAL: Module vmnet not found.
Then Jon, what's the next step now ?
