VMWare + Latest Kernel

Below a log of vmware building the vmnet module and failing. This has 
worked up until my latest update. Don't bother with the URL links, as 
I've tried them and one is a page not found the other has no 
troubleshooting. Does one of the programmers on this list know what this 
is? The newsgroup link from the page seems to be broken also.
