VMware Server : recently stopped working on Feisty

[Zach]

I the various vmware kernel modules, including networking, would have
to be recompiled after the recent kernel update.  However,
vmware-config should have covered that, so If that's not it, i'm not
sure.

FWIW, it's working on my updated system, but I didn't install it from synaptic.
