18 It doesn't work for me. For now I've hacked the init.d script to create
19 the required devices at start and to rm them at stop. Not a clean
20 solution, but works for me right now. Every upgrade to vmware, I
21 comment out the changes and try again so far it hasn't worked. I haven't
22 filed a bug since it is vmware and I haven't researched the vmware site
23 yet to see if it should work.

25 My system info:
