I configured my own kernel. The vmware-modules ebuild will tell you if
you're missing any kernel options that you need.

The only vmware related USE flag i have is vmware-tools, which grabs the
software for the guest vms.

Usually all you need to do is setup the vmnet interfaces with
vmware-netcfg, then add network hardware to the guest OS and tell it which
vmnet interface to use. If you run ifconfig do you have multiple vmnet
interfaces? Did you add extra hardware to the guest OS?

HTH,
Adam
