Hi Pavlinux,

Patch didn't work for me. vmnet Module still failed to Compile.

I installed the Patch exactly like it's shown on the link.

TRy the latest Wellhall patch??  I only am using the 3.3 kernel on Fedora 17 and VMware insatll the modules and the GUI comes up and I can enter the liciense key.  But starting or opening a VM  leads to a kernel panic. But it always does so its  almost certainly a probalem with Fedora.  Installing on an openSUSE 12.2 with kernel 3.3 also results in a panic  have not yet tried Ubuntu  3.3 kernel.  VMware  working fine on the 3.2 kernel there and I have other things to do.

VMware mightg keep in mind that 3.3 is now mainline (kernel.org)
