I have the same problem. I've just pushed a patch that seems to fix it.

I also face issue after upgrade kernel to 6.6.1. The host loose network connection. Can't shutdown/reboot the host OS. Using endevourOS.

I updated my kernel to kernel 6.6.1, but once I boot my guest os(whatever windows or linux), my host lose network connection, and even I close the guest os, the network still stuck, and sometimes it makes my waybar and firefox freeze...

Tried installing this today and whenever I run vmware or vmplayer I get a segfault. On kernel 6.6.1

@denji: I found that this is not a good idea. If dracut omits the modules I get systemd warning in the journal:Failed to find module 'vmmon'.
/usr/lib/modules-load.d/vmware.conf is asking systemd to load the modules early at boot. I do not want to mess with this file. May be we need a hook for dkms to rebuild initrd on every dkms run.

@mabod Yes that solves the problem (force rebuild dracut).
Exclude vmnet/vmmon from initramfs.
$ cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/vmware-workstation.conf
omit_drivers+=" vmnet vmmon "
# grub/dracut
$ sudo dracut-rebuild
# systemd-boot/dracut
$ sudo reinstall-kernels

Now it works for me as well. Installing new vmware on top of kernel 6.5.9.arch2-1 did not work at first. I had to recreate all the initrd with dracut. Looks like dracut still loads the old vmware modules from 17.0.2-2 and that crashes the vmware app. Now it is running fine here with all kernels.6.1.60 and 6.5.9
EDIT: I have now added the vmware modules vmnet and vmmon as "omit_drivers" to the dracut conf. I hope that prevents issues like this in the future.

After updating kernel to 6.5.9-arch2-1, PC stopped crashing and vmware workstation 17.5 works again

After the first installation, please:
1) install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s): linux-headers for default kernel, linux-lts-headers for LTS kernel...
2) reboot or load vmw_vmci and vmmon kernel modules (modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon)
3) Enable the services you need (using .service units to activate them during boot or .path units to activate them when a VM is started) :
vmware-networks: to have network access inside VMs
vmware-usbarbitrator: to connect USB devices inside VMs
