VMPlayer on ubuntu precise (12.04 LTS)

Now when I tried show Windows the door at office, well every one knows, it's only in my dreams.

Now, at home well, you know, it has always been Linux.

So wanted to setup Windows as VM to run some age old stuffs, Tried Virtual box, KVM and now VMPlayer (Yes, its open source now).

Well, as usual some hickups - I see this as an opport. to explore and confirm Linux is the way forward.

To the point -
When running vmplayer 4.0.4 - couldn't compile stuffs for Virtual network device.

The solution is to run a patch, available here - runme

If you get version not supported, edit the patch*.sh and change 4.0.2 to 4.0.4

Also, you have to sudo.
