VMware patches for Ubuntu

[Stefan Bader]

Hi Alok,

thank you for the patches. Unfortunately by now Intrepid moved into maintenance 
mode. Meaning we have to go through a stricter mode of requirements. Normally 
only major bug fixes or very simple changes. I will have a look at your patches 
but I cannot promise we will be able to apply them.

Regards,
Stefan
