[ale] VMware and 2.4.16?

[Chris Egolf]

VMWare 2.0.4 is working for me under 2.4.16.  You need to download a patch 
that fixed some problems that were introduced when the 2.4.7 kernel came 
out.  

Try ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-ws-1142-for-2.4.7a.tar.gz

Once I installed this patch, I've been able to rebuild modules by running 
the vmware-config.pl script without any problems.
