[opensuse] Samba won't start because of Vmware Networking

Hello:

I have a very similar problem to this one:

http://fixunix.com/networking/526438-problem-samba-wont-start-because-vmware.html

Excerpt from the above thread:

"smb and nmb boot scripts fail to start smbd and nmbd.

Samba is configured to only listen to the host-only network interface
from VMware at vmnet1:192.168.230.1. I think what
happens is that the vmnet1 interface doesn't appear until after the smb
and nmb scripts run, so the smbd/nmbd die.
However, when I manually do /etc/init.d/smb restart after my system is
fully up, then Samba starts just fine and works too.

How to make Samba wait a bit for the vmnet1 interface to appear?"

There is no working solution at the above site, so I am asking the question
here.

Thanks,
Istvan
