Here is a link to the solution of the above problem:-

3.19 kernels and up

Since 3.19 kernel the vmnet module will fail to build. Therefore we need to patch it .Commands are given below :-

curl http://pastie.org/pastes/9934018/download -o /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch

Extract the vmnet module sources:

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
tar -xf vmnet.tar

Apply the patch: 

patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch

Recreate the archive: 

tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only

Remove leftover: 

rm -r *-only

Rebuild modules: 

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Now, VMware Workstation is running smoothly.
