@josys36 , I just successfully updated to 6.8.5-201.fc39.x86_64 and had issue with vmnet and vmmon modules (VMware Workstation 17.5.0 build-22583795).
The solution:

  1. Download the missing modules:
    wget https://codeload.github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tar.gz/refs/heads/workstation-17.5.1
  2. Install them:
    tar -zxvf workstation-17.5.1.tar.gz
    cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-17.5.1/
    tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
    tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
    cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
    vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
