I am running VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.i386.rpm

and my kernel is:

2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686 #1 SMP

[root at silene modules]# /etc/init.d/vmware restart
Stopping VMware services:

I have gone in as root and run
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
manually.

I have manually created all the vmnet device files:

[root at silene modules]# ls -l /dev/vmnet*
crw------- 1 root root 119, 0 2009-01-24 21:27 /dev/vmnet0
crw------- 1 root root 119, 1 2009-01-24 21:27 /dev/vmnet1
crw------- 1 root root 119, 2 2009-01-24 21:30 /dev/vmnet2
crw------- 1 root root 119, 3 2009-01-24 21:30 /dev/vmnet3

crw------- 1 root root 119, 7 2009-01-24 21:30 /dev/vmnet7
crw------- 1 root root 119, 8 2009-01-24 21:27 /dev/vmnet8
crw------- 1 root root 119, 9 2009-01-24 21:31 /dev/vmnet9

I'm beginning to think that a patch is needed.
