Kernel 2.6.22 and vmware-player-modules

Just for information:

If someone got problems reinstalling vmware-player-modules after the last Kernel update to 2.6.22, here's a workaround:
1. Get the package vmware-player-modules from the aur..
2. try building vmware-player-modules with makepkg (that's where the problem occurs)
3. download the file vmnet.tar from here, unpack it somewhere
4. copy the .tar and the unpacked folder to the vmware-player-modules source ( cp -r vmnet* /var/abs/local/vmware-player-modules/src/vmware-player-distrib/lib/modules/source )
5. build the package again with makepkg -e and install it

yay.
