VMWare, Udev, /dev/vmnet*

[venquessa2]

Hi,

I run a few multi interface vmware hosts for experimentation and windows 2k3.

The problem is that the new udev set up only enables /dev/vmnet0 which is my bridged network for vmware. However I use /dev/vmnet2 as a non-bridged virtual only network segment.

On reboot and after starting /etc/init.d/vmware I only have /dev/vmnet0 present.

If I do a:

mknod /dev/vmnet2 char 119 2
or
mknod /dev/vmnet2 block 119 2

Vmware still reports it cannot find the device and disconnects the Ethernet device from the VM.

I need to rerun vmware-config.pl everytime I reboot to get all my vmnet devices back

Any ideas to a more permanent solution?

Cheers,
