Hi Tony,

running this script gives the exact same errors that I saw when
re-installing vmware server via Synaptic:

***********
Starting VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor failed 
   Virtual ethernet        failed 

Module vmnet is not loaded.  Please verify that it is loaded before
running this script.
***********

It fails to load vmnet for some reason, argh.....

Thanks for raising your hand though, the fact that it still works on
your Feisty install despite the latest updates... well that gives me
some hope :-)
