The problem has been discussed in http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=408893 http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=105185 for example. Unfortunately the suggested workarounds don't work for forcedeth. I could reproduce the problem with the current 2.6.17-rc5. Any helpful hint would be highly appreciated. Regards Harri
