Thanks! this installed great from the extra folder, but doesn't get the ethernet working (I have it set to "flexible" in vSphere for ESXi 5U1.  Which on a windows machine loads the vmxnet3.  Do I need to force it down to vmxnet2?  And how do I do that?
Thanks,

[edit]
well, reseting the network /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart, worked.
Do i need to add that to my Go script?

It should work if you set the type to VMXNET3 instead of flexible.

There is no option for me to do that... its flexible or E1000

If you only have those two options, then you chose the wrong type of Linux when you created the VM.  I'm not at home at the moment, but maybe check Johnm's atlas thread to see the type of Linux to choose.

Hi Zeron,

I'm getting "not found" on all the links, maybe you changed host or something?

Thanks!

Zeron, just wanted to drop a big thank you, you have done an excellent job on the open vmtools package, your updates with incorporation are working perfect.
Reading the code you have everything covered at this point. Many thanks!
