I deal with that by not using vmware.
[...] Building one of my required added modules (the drivers for the RTL8168 network on the MB) it creates the new module in /lib/modules/2.6.18/kernel/drivers/net because it uses 'uname -r' to get the kernel version. This doesn't work very well when you reboot - no network.
I'd hack its Makefile to stop it being so stupid and use a make variable for the target kernel version.
Hope that helps,
