The kernel on Arch Linux has been updated to 3.2. Now I get nothing but errors when trying to install the kernel modules and the patch says it's already been applied.
Fix:
$ wget http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/vmware8linux32fix.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf vmware8linux32fix.tar.gz
# rm /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/.patch
# ./patch-modules_3.1.0.sh
...
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vsock-only'
Built vsock module
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor done
Virtual machine communication interface done
VM communication interface socket family done
Blocking file system done
Virtual ethernet done
VMware Authentication Daemon done
Shared Memory Available done
All done, you can now run VMWare WorkStation.
Modules sources backup can be found in the '/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source-workstation8.0.1-2012-01-19-08:44:31-backup' directory
