so after finding some hints ( http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=512232)

I dit the foloing !! use on own RISK I dont now if this change is OK!! but it works

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
cp vmnet.tar vmnet.tar_orig
tar xf vmnet.tar
vi vmnet-only/bridge.c (comment out First line and add second line)
----------------------------
/*if (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_HW) { */
if (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE) {
---------------------------
vi vmnet-only/userif.c
---------------------------
/* skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_HW && */ /* Without checksum */
skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL &&
---------------------------

tar cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only



I also did this for an other error touch /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.19/include/linux/config.h [dont do this do the ln instead ]

sudo ln -s autoconf.h config.h
in
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.19-1.2895.fc6-i686/include/linux
Afther this everything else went fine
