I am. Here's the relevant section from my BootScripts:

function TestNetwork() {
   for i in `seq 10`
   do
      Network Start && return 0
      usleep 500000
   done
   return 1
}

Exec "Initializing network..."                Fork 'network' TestNetwork
Exec "Setting time..."                        Fork 'ntpdate' Wait
'network' ntpdate pool.ntp.org
Exec "VMWare modules and network setup..."    Fork 'vmware' Wait
'network' StartTask vmware &

I suppose the network hack is needed because of udev synchronization
issues, but I never bothered to look deeply into the issue.
