VMtoolsを入れてもvmxnetが適用されない問題についてのパッチ

あー、以前気になってたがすっかり放置してたのこの件は不具合だったのか。
ESX Server 3.0.1, Patch ESX-6075798: pcnet32 Loads Instead of vmxnet

This patch fixes an issue where pcnet32/vlance drivers are loaded instead of vmxnet drivers after installing VMware Tools and restarting virtual machines. This issue is seen in all cases in which the virtual machines in question are running Linux kernel 2.6.x based guest operating systems.
