I just ran vmware-config.pl(I have vmware workstation 
installed) on a system that had just rebooted from the 
kernel upgrade and it completed just fine.

Also, I don't know that you need the full source.  When ever 
I install vmware on a machine I just execute the following 
command.
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

That gets me everything I need to configure vmware.  Also I 
just checked and it seems that the linux-source-2.6.15 is 
generated from the same source as linux-image-2.6.15-26.44. 
  That means that they should hit the archive at the same 
time.  Maybe your upgrading off of a mirror that wasn't 
quite done syncing yet?
