Hello,
I successfully installed VMware-workstation-4.5.2-8848 on FC3 following
the tips in the FC3 Release Notes (below). However, when I try to
shutdown the machine, the shutdown process hangs at the following
console message:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for vmnet1 to become free. Usage count = 1
(My virtual machine uses both the vmnet1 and vmnet8 network interfaces.)
Can anyone please explain what's going on or suggest a solution?
Thanks - Dave

Clipped from FC3 Release Notes:
o You must upgrade the kernel modules and configuration using the
unofficial vmware-any-any-* toolkit available from:
[5]http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/
o After vmware-config.pl is run and the VMware modules are loaded,
the
following command creates the /sys/class/* nodes needed for udev:
cp -rp /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices/
