Hello,
When you installed a new kernel did you do a vmware-config.pl ? This allows the appropriate modules for the vmnet to be compiled and installed against the appropriate kernel.
Make sure that you have the kernel sources and headers installed via the rpms. This is important. I have had it work with my VMWare on 2.6.8.1 !
Cheers,
Aly.

Hi,
I am willing to use VmWare Workstation as a development platform on my R3140US laptop ( AMD64 ). I am facing right now an issue with the 2.6.8.1 kernel ( 64 bits ) which I just have updated on my Fedora Core 2/
I am running the demo version of vmware which was running fine with 2.6.5 kernel.
So, the vmnet bridge between vmnet0 and eth0 seems to be broken.
Does any body have soon meet this issue ? Is there a fix somewhere available for the kernel or from VmWare. There software is very good and I am willing to acquire it ....

I can only add my voice to yours in knowing that you're not alone. I have encountered the same problem and it exists with both the 2.6.8 and 2.6.7 kernels I have tried. There response is that they are having software interaction troubles with fc2 because the kernel is too new (read bleeding edge). That was from a call on Friday to see how I liked the demo. Have not gotten around to contacting support yet (that is what I intend to do today).

Craig,
I have VMWare Workstation 4.5.2 Build 8848 (stock, no vmupdates) running just fine on FC2, updated to the latest kernel (2.6.8-1.521). The reason I did not jump in on the earlier post, is that mine is on a Pentium M processor and he was having problems on the AMD64.... So the problem would seem to point to processor architecture, unless he has a configuration problem....
Remember to re-run vmware-config.pl each time you install a new kernel to copy the modules into the new /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/ directory structure....
HTH,
