Hello,

--- just before someone is asking for a solution ---

the switch to udev in FC3 requires a patch to the init.d script of
VMwareWorkstation-4.5.2-8848 (and probably similar Versions).

Otherwise, you have to run vmware-config.pl after startup.

I found a solution in the vmware-forum-archives ...

just patch /etc.init.d/vmware to install the required devices (vmnet...)
