Jonathan's instructions didn't work for me. I get:

Starting VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                            failed
   Virtual ethernet                                                   failed
done
invoke-rc.d: initscript vmware-player, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing vmware-player (--configure):

Vmplayer seems to have some trouble with Atheros chipsets. I used a
tar.gz installation before and it stopped working after I installed an
Atheros PCI WiFi card and bridged vmnet0 (or any vmnet, for that matter)
to ath0. Whenever I did that it would tell me vmplayer wasn't properly
configured. The tar.gz install still does work fine when bridged to
eth0.
