As usual, when Fedora upgrades kernel to a new major version VMWare stops working. In this particular case my Fedora was upgraded to Linux kernel version 4.7.2. The fix I found is the following one: # cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source# tar xf vmnet.tar# mv vmnet.tar vmnet.old.tar# sed -i -e 's/dev->trans_start = jiffies/netif_trans_update\(dev\)/g' vmnet-only/netif.c# tar cf vmnet.tar| Everything about nothing
I just updated Fedora 24 from update-testing repository and that pulled Linux kernel 4.6. Well, as usual, VMWare Workstation needed some patching in order to work. Luckily, I quickly found a fix on VMWare forums. Note that at the end of the thread there is a script you can use to automatically patch necessary files. But, be careful, I didn't try it! Anyway, after patching, run: vmware-modconfig| Everything about nothing
