VMWare Workstation not working with Wireless (Kernel 2.6.20)

Thursday, October 4th, 2007 | Fedora Core, Microsoft, SuSE Linux, Techie, Ubuntu / Kubuntu, VMWare

So you may be using VMWare Workstation on a nice shiny Linux box, just to find out you cannot use your Bridged networking over the Wireless Card, confining you to the sofa nearest to your Router sitting in an obscure place. So what do you do? You fix it of course.

How?

Download this patched version of vmnet.tar created by Hauke-m from the VMWare Forums and Funderburg over at linuxquestions.org.

New vmnet.tar

Replace your current vmnet.tar file (mine is located in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar) and re-run your vmare-config.pl (for me sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl)

Your all set FINALLY..

Hopefully VMWare will fix it on their releases
