Hi,
I tracked the problem down to the socket ioctls. The LINUX_SIOCGIFADDR
ioctl fails because the ifname translation fails. A simple patch
that disables the name translation makes the problem go away, but the
only result it has is that VMware complains about an old vnet driver.
I'm not sure that's something that's broken on my machine or is still
something that needs to be fixed, so if someone can test the following
patch, I'd be grateful:
