VMware – Patch for Kernel 4.11 Support..
Thanks to Virgo, there are now patches for vmnet and vmmon with Kernel 4.11 (see his comments under the earlier article). These are incremental patches, for application to VMware 12.5.2 code already patched for Kernel 4.9/4.10 support..
Links are here: http://pastebin.com/McqmUf0u and http://pastebin.com/yjbDHiSX
I have modified these (adding appropriate #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE…… #endif statements) to be backward-compatible with 4.10 and earlier, and applied them to 4.9/4.10-patched VMware 12.5.2, and can confirm that it now compiles and runs on 4.11-rc1..

Can I get a hint on how I would apply these to a fresh install of workstation 12.5.2?
Wait got it sorted – nevermind
Hi
Anyone can lend a hand how to apply this on fresh install of VmWare 12.5.7 on kernel 4.11 ?
I have no clue myself…
Thanks
Viktor
VMware 12.5.7 does not need any patches for Kernel 4.11..

Hi RG
on a fresh install on kernel 4.11.11.300 fedora 26 vmware 12.5.7 does not open (installer seems to finish ok without saying anything but vmware workstation gui does not open when launched)
The fix for this was in an earlier article: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1992

Many thanks Robert, I really appreciate your post. Workstation up and running again on my machine.
