Failure of vmnet after last update of openSUSE

Hi all

I just made an update of opensuse Factory tonight zypper mega - v13.2 goes live Monday so I thought that I would avoid the rush.

It was a big mistake that VMware Workstation is concerned because after update packages ~ 530 (new kernal etc) VMware Workstation can compile is no longer the vmnet module.

ERROR: Failure of vmnet.  Cannot run the command build.

I've been running Vmware Workstation very well with zero problems on the factory for the past 3 weeks

Side note: I've just updated to VMware yesterday.

I am running: VMware-Workstation-Full - 10.0.4 - 2249910.x86_64.bundle

Everything worked fine for 24 hours before updating major openSUSE tonight (20141031)

Question: Is there available patches or a beta version of the next version of VMware Workstation?

Hi all

Just a little note to say that I solved this problem by applying the attached patch (vmware-for - 3.17.patch.zip) that I found on this forum. Sorry, but I forgot on what post I found it.

Note: Make sure that you have installed on your system to fix GNU!
