Just upgraded to VMWare Workstation 7.1.2 this morning and ran into nothing but problems. Here's the fixes.
This isn't anything I came up with on my own but found here:
linuxinsight.com article
Arch Linux VMWare Wiki page
# cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
# cp -a vmmon.tar vmmon-orig.tar
# tar xf vmmon.tar
# cd vmmon-only/linux/
# nano /root/vmmon.patch
Found the patch here
Paste the following into /root/vmmon.patch

Now we need to do the same for vsock
Download the vsock patch from the linuxinsight posting to /root/vsock.patch
# cd /root
# wget http://www.linuxinsight.com/files/vsock.patch
# nano vsock.patch
# cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
# cp -a vsock.tar vsoc-orig.tar
# tar xf vsock.tar
# cd vsock-only/linux
