    Below a log of vmware building the vmnet module and failing. This has
    worked up until my latest update. Don't bother with the URL links, as
    I've tried them and one is a page not found the other has no
    troubleshooting. Does one of the programmers on this list know what this
    is? The newsgroup link from the page seems to be broken also.
