When I select bridged connection on any VM's settings vmware freezes during the guest's bootup process. Here is what dmesg shows:
dmesg.txt

I use VMware workstation 17.5.2 on fedora 40 with kernel 6.10.4.

Found a workaround! I used this specific patch. Anything else didn't work properly from me.

I have some virtual machines with bridget network configuration. In VMware 17.5.2 I can compile this repository at the branch 17.5.1 and everything it goes well.
If I try to compile modules with this patch virtual machines are freezing during bootup.

I use Linux Lite 7.0 (based on Ubuntu 24.04) with kernel 6.8.0-41.

I have getting the same problem:
VMware-Workstation-Full-17.5.2-23775571.x86_64.bundle
Ubuntu 22.04
Linux exquite 6.8.0-40-generic #40~22.04.3-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jul 30 17:30:19 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git
modules build and start OK, but the VM (with bridged networking) freezes laptop on startup

It seems like on my desktop computer (which has the exact same distro + kernel + vmware workstation version), no matter which patch I compile, bridged networking always results in a freeze + kernel oops. Dmesg logs:

Managed to get vmware workstation to work on my desktop too! Commands:

git clone -b tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9.1 https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git
cd vmware-host-modules/
tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
