Here's how I confugured Vmware in my Debian sid:
Added necessary repos in /etc/apt/sources.list
#echo "deb http://www.fbriere.net/debian/dists/unstable ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
#echo "deb-src http://www.fbriere.net/debian/dists/unstable ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Installed with apt-get
#apt-get install vmware4 vmware-source module-assistance linux-headers-`uname -r`
Now comes the module installation process
#m-a prepare, m-a update; m-a a-i vmware
If this does not work for some realson, do the following to compile the module manually
#cd /usr/src
#tar xvjf vmware.tar.bz2
#cd /usr/src/modules/vmware
#make
#mkdir -p /lib/module/`uname -r`/misc/
#ln vmmon.ko vmnet.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/
#depmod -a
See if the modules got installed properly:
#lsmod
The two entrises confirmed that
vmnet 28396 0
vmmon 167180 0
