I did find that solution for Ubuntu 22 LTS and tried it.  The solution posted by Contributor liberattgustavo  reads ...

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules
cd vmware-host-modules
git checkout workstation-16.2.3
make
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
mv vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
mv vmmon.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

 
...following those instructions worked.  I rebooted my Ubuntu host but probably could have just run 'vmware' from the command line. 

On restarting 'vmware', I was prompted to acknowledge the license agreement again like it was a new install (but that might have been because I had uninstalled Workstation Pro 16.2.3-1... while trying things to that might fix the original problem.  You might not see this prompt if you didn't uninstall-reinstall Workstation Pro.

Thanks!

Are we going to have to do this often or will a better fix be provided?
