Find the source code
On my system it is at /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
Untar source modules
tar xvf vmnet.tar
This creates a subfolder containing the source files (in this case, vmnet-only).
Apply the patch
Assuming the patch file is ~/Downloads/vmware3.2.0.patch
patch -p1 < ~/Downloads/vmware3.2.0.patch
Re-Tar the source folder
tar cvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/
Rerun the module compilation process and hope the patches fix the problem.
If smarter people have better instructions feel free to contradict.
