[Bug 1500581] Re: open-vm-tools-dkms fails to build on kernel 4.2 (Wily Werewolf) [error: implicit declaration of function ‘nd_set_link’]

[Armin Kunaschik]

@dyno-fu I *was* using the open-vm-tools from the PPA!
I tried several things with either open-vm-tools or vmware-tools and the conflicting software removed.
Ubuntu was upgraded from 15.04 (initially 12.04), open-vm-tools and vmware-tools were both always working fine.
After the upgrade, things didn't work as described above.

To keep my (maybe broken) Ubuntu system out the equation I installed a clean 32-bit Ubuntu 15.10 from scratch into a new VM (in fact I downloaded one from osboxes.org)
Surprise: open-vm-tools 9.10.3 are working fine on a 32-bit VM.

Obviously my installation has to be broken in some way.
If noone else has the same problem, I'll throw away the garbage and start over new...
