I now maintain this package. This package now supports Linux 6.15, and has updated download URLs.
However, if this package is absolutely mission critical for you, please use an LTS kernel, as I can only (barely) assemble patches others have made, as it may take a while for me to update the package to work on regular kernels.
Flag this package as out of date only if it doesn't work on the latest regular kernel AND if vmware-workstation works. If it doesn't, I can't help you.
If this does not satisfy you, get someone more knowledgeable to maintain this package, and I will hand over this package on request.

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
