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:
Virtual machine communication interface [ OK ]
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]
Blocking file system [ OK ]

Virtual ethernet [FAILED]
[root at silene modules]#
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, 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.
