[SLUG] vmware 1.06 on Hardy won't start

[david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

New install of Hardy, and I've followed the steps on this page:

The install appears to succeed but the vmware console fails to start. The
only log entry I can find is in syslog:

Aug 24 23:44:34 david avahi-daemon[5093]: Registering new address record
for fe80::250:56ff:fec0:1 on vmnet1.*.

Aug 24 23:44:43 david kernel: [21472.209393] vmnet8: no IPv6 routers present

vmware log is empty.

Any clues gratefully received. I need to get this running fairly urgently.
