With the new 2.6.19 linux kernel, VmWare Server 1.0.1 can't compile its network kernel modules.

I hack the source of these modules, you can download here.

Copy vmnet.tar in <vmware_lib_dir>/modules/source (for eg /usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/source or /.../vmware-server-distrib/lib/modules/source).

You must create a link to one config file because the name change : you must go to the include directory in the header of the kernel (/usr/src/linux-2.6.19/include/linux or better /lib/modules/2.6.19/build/include/linux) and create the link "config.h" to the file autoconf.h :cd /lib/modules/2.6.19/build/include/linux
ln -s autoconf.h config.h

And now start the configuration of VmWare to compile these modules (<install_dir_vmware>/vmware-config.pl).
