For those who use kernel 3.14 (in my case Kali Linux 1.0.9a/Debian) and having trouble installing VMWare Workstation 10.xx, here’s the workaround :
- Download this patch
- Open Terminal and su/login as root
- And apply this
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
cp vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.original
tar xvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/filter.c
patch vmnet-only/filter.c < /location_of_patch/kernel-3.14-vmware-filter.c.diff
tar -uvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/filter.c
rm -rf vmnet-only/
vmware-modconfig –console –install-all
