Compiles and works for Workstation 17.5.2 and Mainline kernel 6.9.1
Applied https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/issues/243#issuecomment-2098516707 and https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/issues/239#issuecomment-2118783046
I can confirm this patch is working on Fedora 39 against kernel 6.8.10-200.fc39.x86_64
Thanks a lot. Worked also for me on 6.9.3 kernel with VMware 17.5.2. @plantgaming1 How to use:
- Checkout the repo from here
- move in folder root
- execute: sudo make
- execute: sudo make install
Running for me with Workstation 17.5.2 on Fedora 40 using 6.9.4-200 kernel
Works well for me with Workstation 17.5.2 on PopOS 22.04 using 6.9.3-76060903-generic.

p.s. wrote an article on this issue {Kinda Sad?} State of VMWare Workstation (Pro?) on Linux
Although facing issues with launching
vmware-netcfg(#253?)
This problem was fixed in kernel 6.9.7 (at least, I hadn't tried it in a while).
Can also confirm this fixed the issue for me running Workstation Pro 17.5.1 on:
- Fedora 39 Workstation
- Kernel: 6.9.7-100.fc39.x86_64
Product Information:
- VMware Workstation 17 Pro
- Version: 17.5.1 build-23298084
Thank you so much to everyone!
It took so long to get merged that now something else fails; networking no longer works. You can side step it by setting up bridged networking though.
Either upgrade your kernel to 6.9.7+, or edit the config files manually (/etc/vmware/networking) .
... and FWIW, the latest 17.5.2 patches apply cleanly on top of kernel 6.10 .
The patches works fine on version 17.5.2 running on Debian testing, Kernel 6.9.12-1 (2024-07-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
This worked for 17.5.2 on Fedora 40 using kernel 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64
kudos. Please merge this
Hi all,
Please, all those who are telling "it works for me", would you please describe if launching vmware-netcfg also work?
Thank you.
Can confirm this worked for me on Fedora 40 running kernel 6.10.6-200.fc40. Thanks!
Can confirm that this work on Ubuntu 24.04 with kernel 6.10.7 with workstation 17.6 If during workstation startup the app ask for GCC, please use the repository universe and install gcc required. example for gcc-14
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt install gcc-14
