I don't know about the original poster, but I have fixed this issue on my machine.
Apparently with feisty there is an update to the e1000 driver that enables some functionality on the card that vmware doesn't take kindly too. I couldn't find any options with modinfo that would make e1000 act like it used too. The card works great for everything but vmware. I simply installed a new card and disabled the onboard card in bios, edited /etc/iftab with the new cards mac address for eth0, rebooted and the issue was gone. -- VMWare Player guest OS and Host Kubuntu cannot SSH into each other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105697 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
