All drivers supported by vSphere/ESXi have been accepted upstream as of the 3.9 kernel, these are: - vmxnet3 (our virtual NIC) = Accepted in the 2.6.32 kernel and began shipping in the Ubuntu 10.04 release - vmw_pvscsi (our virtual HBA) = Acceted in the 2.6.33 kernel and began shipping in the Ubuntu 10.04 release - vmware_balloon (memory balloon driver) = Accepted in the 2.6.34 kernel and began shipping in the Ubuntu 10.10 release - vmwgfx (virtual graphics driver) = Accepted in the 3.2 kernel and began shipping in the Ubuntu 12.04 release. - vsock and vmw_vmci (virtual socket interface and virtual communication channel) = Accepted in the 3.9 release and appears to be included in the latest Ubuntu 13.10 Alpha
vmxnet and vmblock are obsolete, so don't worry about those drivers. VMware personal desktop products, Workstation and Fusion, have one more driver called hgfs. This driver has not been contributed upstream, but we are looking into obsoleting the need for this driver by using FUSE if we get the performance required. Going forward, Open-VM-Tools project will only consist of user-space apps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220950 Title: [MIR] open-vm-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1220950/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
