Site where I found the solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/414783/unable-to-run-vmware-failed-to-build-vmnet
# - as root user
$ cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
$ tar -xvf vmnet.tar
# - edit the file vmnet-only/netif.c and replace the line that looks like
dev = alloc_netdev(sizeof *netIf, deviceName, VNetNetIfSetup);
to
dev = alloc_netdev(sizeof *netIf, deviceName, NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, VNetNetIfSetup);
$ tar -cvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/
$ rm -rf vmnet-only/
This worked great, I did test the networking on a Windows 7 VM that I had and it seemed to work great!
