Is there a "correct" place at vmware.com to send these patches? I tryied sending it to [email protected], but I got no response from them.
Anyway, below follows the patch providing support to devfs on the vmnet driver for vmware workstation 4.0.
You can send them to me if you do not trust feature-request...
Proble with your patch is that it does not look like that it will build on 2.2.x without complaints, but I can fix that. More important question to me is: do people really use devfs?
And if change will not make into next WS release, I can always distribute it from my site.

Gentoo uses devfs, and some people (like me) use VMware on gentoo. Not that this matters, because the vmware startup files make the correct device nodes. (I've never used vmware on non-devfs but I assumed it works fine there.)

Yes, there are distributions and a lot of "end-users" around using devfs. About 2.2.x: I think only putting #ifdef CONFIG_DEVFS_FS before defining the 'static devfs_handle_t devfs_handle' can fix the problem. Can you test that?
The patches I sent are also available on
http://cscience.org/~lucasvr/patches/vmnet-only-3.2.patch and
http://cscience.org/~lucasvr/patches/vmnet-only-4.0.patch .
