[Bug 1500581] Re: open-vm-tools-dkms fails to build on kernel 4.2 (Wily Werewolf) [error: implicit declaration of function ‘nd_set_link’]

Hi Stanislaw, Thanks for information from you.
One point however is not clear for me. All that on github seems to be VmWare's own open-vm-tools repo.
The guys there claim (see Readme.md file, last update 7 months ago) open-vm-tools would not include
Linux drivers as those were available as part of Linux kernel itself. According to same file Linux kernels since
3.10 would include all Linux drivers except for (vm)hgfs, so the impression arises VmWare open-vm-tools project 
does not target Linux drivers, inclusively hgfs. They leave this task the distribution vendors or mainline kernels - so far
my understanding. How does it comply with your last statement here?
Or you mean other github open-vm-tools project, not the VmWare's one. Which one then?
