[gentoo-user] Vmware and <= 2.6.25 kernels

[Eric Phillips]

I have noticed that many people seem to be having issues with vmware 
products. I believe that some of the issues may be related to some 
symbols being removed from the mainline kernel causing modules from 
vmware-modules to not load into the kernel. To fix it you need to enable 
UNUSED_SYMBOLS here 'kernel hacking -> Enable unused/obsolete exported 
symbols'. Hopefully this helps if anyone wants to use 2.6.25.* kernels.

I have gnutls and openssl installed, and have run revdep-rebuild.  I am
able to visit https sites, only downloads are affected.  neither wget
nor ping will work.  wget returns "unable to resolve name".  however my
other computer is able to resolve the same site just fine.
