Hi!

Adding the following symlinks makes network work with open-vm-tools 
installed

mondschein:/etc/rcS.d> ln -s ../init.d/open-vm-tools S20open-vm-tools

However there is another problem I will report seperately:

The init script *unconditionally* rmmods pcnet32, *even* if the module 
*vmxnet* is not available.

Another fix or work-around would be the following:

The open-vm-tools init script does a /etc/init.d/networking restart, but 
that seems quite cumbersome. However if it does not, it *should* issue a 
warning and prompt for continuation when being run after the system has 
fully booted, cause the server will loose its network connectivity. Good 
when you can rdesktop to a VMware infrastructure client then ;-).

Ciao,
