When I install VMware Workstation on Arch linux Virtual ethernet is not working.
$ sudo tail /var/log/vnetlib

Previously I have copied that file or directory (I don't remember) from a working installation, but now I need a real solution.
It's strange for me, may be a hardware issue also because with Ubuntu the same thing happens on the same computer.
