Which package do I emerge to get 'tree'? I have sysfsutils installed and |
| 22 |
it isn't included there. |

Normally, I would completely agree with you. However, vmnet1 and vmnet8 |
| 31 |
while being network devices do require a device node. If the following |
| 32 |
nodes don't exist, they don't work! |

|

crw-r--r-- 1 root root 119, 0 Jul 24 22:25 /dev/vmnet0 |
| 35 |
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 119, 1 Jul 24 22:25 /dev/vmnet1 |
| 36 |
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 119, 8 Jul 24 22:25 /dev/vmnet8 |
| 37 |

Finally, just to be clear, this is something for vmware to fix with |
| 39 |
their drivers, not the udev developers. I was just pointing out that |
| 40 |
currently vmware doesn't "just work" with a pure udev system. |
