Summary: /etc/modprobe.d/vmware-tools should be vmware-tools.conf

Initial Comment:
According to the manual for modprobe.d, included in RHEL 6 and its derivatives, all files under /etc/modprobe.d/ should be end in ".conf" or will be ignored in futute releases. There is also an warninig about that during bootup.

Message:
open-vm-tools does not ship any modprobe scripts. If you see any, they're
most probably from your distribution's package, and you should contact them
for the needed change.
