[Bug 289921] Re: network interface does not come up after installing open-vm-tools

[Travis Hegner]

Writing a simple bash script:

rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/networking restart
exit 0

and adding to to launch from my rc.local worked for me.

Out of curiosity I removed the modprobe.d file that ravidgemole
suggested and added vmxnet to my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules as Ruben
suggested, and the tools fire up fine without messing with the module.
(Thanks Ruben, easiest fix yet).

Unfortunately I believe I am now suffering from bug #306835 in which the
vmware-guestd dameon only runs for about 1 minute and dies.

All that work for... well.... more work!

Still better than windows though!

Thanks guys,

Travis Hegner
