The problem here is always the same vmnet
and vmmon
doesn’t start well or doesn’t start at all, find a PATCH deal with changes in vmmon.c
and vmnet.c
because something breaks or add some parameters to that files or modify and IF, I suggest to you follow this Step:
You can find all this Information in this Document:

I created a script to take of this after a kernel update. Save it as /etc/kernel/install.d/99-vmmodules.install
:
#!/usr/bin/bash
export LANG=C
COMMAND="$1"
KERNEL_VERSION="$2"
BOOT_DIR_ABS="$3"
KERNEL_IMAGE="$4"
ret=0
case "$COMMAND" in
add)
VMWARE_VERSION=$(cat /etc/vmware/config | grep player.product.version | sed '/.*\"\(.*\)\".*/ s//\1/g')
[ -z VMWARE_VERSION ] && exit 0
mkdir -p /tmp/git; cd /tmp/git
git clone -b workstation-${VMWARE_VERSION} https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
cd vmware-host-modules
make VM_UNAME=${KERNEL_VERSION}
make install VM_UNAME=${KERNEL_VERSION}
((ret+=$?))
;;
remove)
exit 0
;;
*)
usage
ret=1;;
esac
exit $ret
