I am having the same after updating to Linux Mint 22. Using kernel 6.8.0-39

[jokerexe01]

i found the solution
git clone -b tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9.1 https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git && cd vmware-host-modules/ && sudo make tarballs && sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ && sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
