I'm running Fedora 12 with VMware Worksation 7 installed. Since the last kernel updated I can't start vmware, it always shows a vmnet errors.
After trying to google many times, I found a solution from fedoraforum :D

First, I must install "kernel-devel".
Then, I run these commands with sudo (my account is in sudoer group)


# cd /tmp
# tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar
# nano vmnet-only/vnetUserListener.c (near line 37 add #include "compat_sched.h")
# tar cf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar vmnet-only
# tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmci.tar
# nano vmci-only/linux/vmciKernelIf.c vmci-only/include/pgtbl.h (add #include "compat_sched.h" around 30 line)
# tar cf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmci.tar vmci-only
# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Cheer, now vmware can work fine.
