I have kernel 2.4.22, and I've tried VMware 3.1 (which my license works
on), 3.2 (maybe it'll work here), and 4.0 (it won't work here, but I have
a 30-day eval license), and I get the same results. I had to recompile
VMware's support modules (no, I didn't change the kernel version), but
when I try, I get loads of unresolved symbols. vmmon builds fine (albeit
with some "deprecated option" warnings on 3.x), but vmnet fails with:

Building the vmnet module.

Using standalone build system.
make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config7/vmnet-only'
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config7/vmnet-only'
Unable to make a vmnet module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
/tmp/vmware-config7/vmnet.o: unresolved symbol sk_free_Rf6a24088

/tmp/vmware-config7/vmnet.o: unresolved symbol skb_clone_R80ef9608
/tmp/vmware-config7/vmnet.o:

What can I do to combat this? I don't use a distro kernel, so I can't
just reinstall it, the kernel-source and the kernel-headers packages. I
made sure /boot/System.map and /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/System.map
are identical (I copied them).
