PROBLEM
这几天把Ubuntu系统升级到了14.04,中间基本上没有什么问题，但我系统上原有的VMWare却不能运行了，每次想打开VMWare-Workstation，总提示说是有些models需要重新编译，于是就按照提示一步步编译，但在vmnet-adaptor这一步总是出错。

PATCH
既然发现了是VNetFilterHookFn出的问题,那下一步就是先google下怎么回事了。网上给出了一个patch，是/usr/lib/vmware/models/source/vmnet.tar中的filter.c出的问题。该怎样打补丁我不会，但是可以把这个patch中的内容coding到vmnet.tar中的filter.c这个文件中。下面是这个patch的内容：

只要把上面的patch更新到/usr/lib/vmware/models/source/vmnet.tar中就可以再次运行VMWare-Workstation了，剩下的事情按照提示点ok就行了。
