I apologize if this has been covered - I was not able to find a discussion with a solution that works for me. Basically, per the subject, I have a 64-bit Fedora 19 machine with kernel 3.10.3 and VMware Workstation 8. Following the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware#3.10_kernels VMblock builds fine, but VMnet still fails:

A developer I am not, so I'm sort of lost as to what exactly is causing the issue, but there appears to be something in the file netif.c 
Thank you in advance for any help.

The link you provided is to the same page that the link in the OP point to! Additionally the OP is using WS 8 not WS 9 and he already tried what was on the linked page with WS 8 and it, not surprisingly, didn't work as I'm sure there are code changes in the modules between the two version that require different patching.
