It looks like vpn has incorporated the change regarding CHECKSUM_HW: +// With linux 2.6.19, they renamed CHECKSUM_HW to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE +#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,19) + #define CHECKSUM_HW CHECKSUM_COMPLETE + #define SKB_CHECKSUM_HELP(a,b) skb_checksum_help((a)) +#else + #define SKB_CHECKSUM_HELP(a,b) skb_checksum_help((a),(b)) +#endif Hope vmware provides a fix so that we do not have to adjust the kernel file each time it is updated.
