Linux Kernel 3.19 requires a fix for the vmnet module source to compile correctly.


Untar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar, and follow this guidance to fix the source.  Then re-tar vmnet-only into vmnet.tar, and run


vmware-modconfig --console --install-all


to compile the modules.  Tested on two systems here.
System76 Oryx Pro, Intel Core i7-11800H, ASRock B860 Pro-A, Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF, Nvidia GTX-1060, SSD 990 EVO Plus.
