[Bug 1220950] Re: [MIR] open-vm-tools

[Scott Moser]

Hm..
It seems this may not be necessary even as soon as 13.10 (kernel 3.11).

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/502
and
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/8/552

The vmw_vmci driver is in the Saucy (3.11) kernel tree and is configured
as a kernel module.

I have heard rumor that "vmblock and vmxnet are going to be carried in
the kernel for 13.10".

If we have disk and network drivers, and 'vmw_vmci', what do we get out
of open-vm-tools ?  Are those things necessary?
