as per:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/422617

you need an extra 'kernel 3.5 patch' which needs to be applied on vmware sources.
it's probably one of these (271-*.patch):

i can't give you exac instructions as i dont have vmware license on this product (i prefer VirtualBox which is free to use).
