Sounds like you tried to make the changes to net-services.sh manually.
That's not really necessary and tedious to do in my experience. I would
do the following:
1) Remove and reinstall VMware Workstation 6.0.2
The command "rpm -Uvh --force VMware-workstation-6.0.2-..." should do
the trick just fine.
2) Rebuild the patch file _exactly_ as it was originally posted
3) Save the patch file as net-services.sh.patch in your home directory
4) Change to the directory /usr/lib/vmware
4) Patch net-services.sh using the command:
patch -p0 </home/Your home directory/net-services.sh.patch
You will need to modify the path to be your home directory or
wherever you put the patch file, as well as be in the directory where
netservices-sh is located.
5) Run VMware Workstation as usual
In other words, the patch file, if properly built, doesn't need you to
manually try to find and edit the entries in net-services.sh. It does it
on its own just fine. In case you don't have it, here's a copy of the
one I built (don't include the "Start of patch file" and "End of patch
file" lines):

Good luck!
