Bien, volvemos a tiempos de aplicar parches y recetas para instalar vmnet en kernels modernos. Así que volvemos a tiempos de proporcionar soluciones para instalar VMware Workstation 11 en Kernels Linux 3.19 y superiores:
- Descargamos el Parche vmnet VMware Workstation 11 kernel 3.19 Ubuntu 15.04
- Descomprimimos el parche con gunzip y lo movemos a /tmp/ por ejemplo
javi@trabajo:~/Downloads$ wget -O /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch.gz 'https://javierin.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/04/vmnet-3.19.patch_.gz'; cd /tmp/; gunzip vmnet-3.19.patch.gz
- Vamos al directorio de codigo fuente de los modulos de VMware Workstation 11 y hacemos un backup de lo que vamos a modificar con el parche.
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source && sudo cp vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.original
- Descomprimimos el fuente del modulo vmnet para poder parchearlo
sudo tar -xf vmnet.tar
- Aplicamos el parche que nos hemos bajado al principio
sudo patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch
- Re-empaquetamos todo para que el instalador de modulos de VMware pueda procesar el codigo fuente parcheado.
sudo tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
- Borramos el directorio donde hemos trabajado
rm -r *-only
- Ejecutamos de nuevo el instalador de modulos de VMware Workstation 11 en nuestra maquina con kernel 3.19+
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
