After running the vmware-config.pl script, did it build the networking module correctly? (vmnet.ko) The script should build vmnet.ko and then make sure it is loaded. The VMware daemon should also be automatically started by the script as well. Try running /etc/init.d/vmware start as root to make sure this is running. Also does lsmod | grep vmnet show that vmnet.ko is listed? If not, maybe modprobe vmnet might help (but this shouldn't be necessary). As regards the comment about using the tarball for VMware - you can do this, but I've never had any problems with the RPM that couldn't be fixed with the any-any patch. My own opinion is that the RPM install is the easiest way to run VMware on RPM based distributions.
