Summarizing previous postings and my own experience:
SuSE does not install version.h properly, and does not use kernel module versions in their kernels.
VMware has not updated their module code for newer kernels.
Yup, I found that too, so set about building my own kernel as well. Boy am I having problems, but I'll post them in a seperate thread if I need to.
make dep
This has created the missing header files. DO NOT COMPILE MODULES OR INSTALL THE KERNEL OR MODULES!
Ooops, and what if you've already taken that step?
3) Provide a missing symlink:
ln -s ../../etc/init.d/vmware /usr/sbin/rcvmware
This lets your start the vmware networking with rcvmware start/stop, like any other service.
A more complete solution there would be to copy /etc/init.d/skeleton to /etc/init.d/rcvmware and then edit the contents to call /usr/sbin/rcvmware. Once done you: # ( cd / ; insserv /etc/init.d/rcvmware ) .. and this will create start and stop link files for you, slotted into the startup sequence according to the dependencies you select in the INIT comments (see insserv man page) at the start of the script.
