I entirely agree with you. Thanks for the note. 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.
