Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vmware-player
My system:
* Dell Inspirion 9400
* Kubuntu Feisty
* vmware-player
* vmware-player-kernel-modules
* vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.20-15
* vmware-tools-kernel-modules-2.6.20-15
* xserver-xorg-video-vmware
((all packages are upgraded with apt-get))

DISTRIB_CODENAME=feisty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.04"
Problem description:
As soon as my eth0 network is disconnected, the vmplayer does not start. Sadly
I get not any error message on the console or anywhere.
As soon as I do one of the following, I get vmplayer to run:
* connect ethernet cable to eth0 device
* "sudo ifdown eth0"
So - I have a workaround. But this should not be needed. Or there should
be at least a suitable error message.
I tried several things like re-configuration of the vmnet devices with
the network setup script - but each time without any success.
Thanks,
Achim
