For some reason, VMWare has not chosen to update the vmware-config 
script for the newer FC's yet (probably because they aren't "officially" 
supported.

You need to get the following package:

http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update101.tar.gz

also, if you run a Fedora Core guest OS, you need this one:

http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-tools-any-update1.tar.gz
