When I install VMware Workstation on Arch linux Virtual ethernet is not working.

$ sudo tail /var/log/vnetlib

Required modules compiled.

Previously I have copied that file or directory (I don't remember) from a working installation, but now I need a real solution.

It's strange for me, may be a hardware issue also because with Ubuntu the same thing happens on the same computer.
