Vmware Workstaion 8 problem on Fedora 16

Hi,

I installed vmware workstation  8.0.0-471780.x86_64 on my fedora 16 machine. When I want to run the vmware worstation, it prompts to update several kernel modules. After I press the "Install" button, it starts to compile and all of them are installed successfully (with a green mark) except "Virtual network Device". So it is unable to start the dervices. Would you please check cause I am sure this is the problem which everyone would face while installing vmware workstation 8 on Fedora 16 Smiley Happy

. Here is the log file it prompts me to check :

1)  Uninstall adn then re-install WS 8.

2)   Immediately  run the patch for kernel 3.1 which is posted on many mesages in this forum

3)  Enter your serial number if you have pruchased it.
