cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
tar -xf vmci.tar
cd vmci-only
patch -p1 < 'patchfile'
cd ..
tar -cf vmci.tar vmci-only/
On VMware Fusion 5.0.3 I had to use this instead
Run as root:
cd /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source
tar xvf vmic.tar
patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/linux-3.8_vmic_hotplug_struct.patch
tar cvf vmci.tar vmci-only
Is there anything that can be done to get VMware Inc. to put this in their distribution?
I think the reason that it's so slow is that the vmw_pvscsi.ko module is not loaded.
