VMWare WorkStation 17.5.1 start Virtual ethernet failed on Ubuntu 22.04

I installed VMWare WorkStation 17 Pro, version 17.5.1 build-23298084 on my Ubuntu 22.04, kernel version is 6.5.0-27-generic. 
And I can not open vmware-network-editor or vmware-netcfg.
When I run 

 

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware status

 

It tells me that 

 

Module vmmon loaded
Module vmnet loaded

 

But when I run

 

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart

 

Result is 

 

Stopping VMware services:
   VMware Authentication Daemon                                        done
   Virtual machine monitor                                             done
Starting VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                             done
   Virtual machine communication interface                             done
   VM communication interface socket family                            done
   Virtual ethernet                                                   failed
   VMware Authentication Daemon                                        done

 

If I open Virtual Network Editor, It tells me that `Network configuration is missing. Ensure that /etc/vmware/networking exists`.
And I found there is a important log in my syslog.

 

kernel: [ 4335.803988] traps: vmware-netcfg[27084] general protection fault ip:79495519d7fd sp:7ffe7a689648 error:0 in libc.so.6[794955028000+195000]

 

When I run command

vmware-netcfg --help

 it will crash like following.

[1]    28083 segmentation fault (core dumped)  vmware-netcfg --help




The above is all the information I have observed. Can someone tell me why this is happening?
