Feisty + VMware-server (again)

Another dist-upgrade today... that means vmware modules should be rebuilt again (& again) :D
But wait ...am I still talking about those vmware-config.pl script that should cause problems on Feisty, make you (me) spending all day STFW to fix ?
Shame on me those were steps that would never be needed for VMware-server - -"
Since there exist a solution for Vmware-server upgrade when the kernel-image is upgraded. Although VMware-server itself is a proprietary software, hence it will never be opensource. But some parts of the software can be exceptions, those are the vmware kernel modules we have to rebuilt every time kernel is upgraded :)
Just apt-get, that's all for VMware to continue running properly. No problem with vmnet, vmmon or vmxxx any more :P
A document about VMware-server is well documented here.
Cheers!
