Ok, I see the patch has to come from "git"? This is the same version of 
VMware as the trial that I installed about a month ago and it worked 
until yesterday so I must conclude that the "patch" is tied to a 
specific kernel. So what I need is the kernel from 30 days ago?

How do I deal with that? Can I still install an older kernel, I suspect 
that will cause trouble?

I'm in over myhead here.
