[Vmware-package-maintainers] Bug#446116: vmware-package: Host-only networking is not properly configured in generated vmware-server 1.0.4 56528

[Joseph Mullally]

Package: vmware-package
Version: 0.16
Severity: normal


The /etc/vmware/config generated for vmware-server packages is missing 
some lines for host only network configuration.

When using vmware-server packages (1.0.4 56528) generated by 
vmware-package, and the user tries to use a host-only network adapter, a 
Warning message will appear saying "Host-only networking is not 
configured.", and the adapter will be then disabled.

Adding the following lines to /etc/vmware/config seems to do the trick. 
These are generated by vmware-config.pl.

vmnet1.hostonlyaddress = "192.168.1.1"
vmnet1.hostonlynetmask = "255.255.255.0"
