[Unit]
Description=Start VMware Workstation host stack (vmmon/vmci + vmnet networking)
Documentation=man:vmware(1)
# Native replacement for the flaky LSB->systemd sysv-generated vmware.service,
# which intermittently fails to generate at early boot ("Cannot find unit
# vmware.service"), leaving vmmon unloaded and vmnet DHCP/NAT down so VMs
# cannot start. The rebuild guard ensures the modules are built first; this
# unit loads them and brings up vmnet1/vmnet8 via VMware's own init script.
