Reconfigure VMware Tools after Linux kernel updated

To enable a Linux environment, VMware Player is used in my PC.
I update my Linux often. Sometime after update, I can't start up the network.
It is important to recompile the VMware Tools in the case.
  1. sudo vmware-config-tools.pl
  2. Now it is time to reconfigure the network interface setting by using following commands.
    sudo -s
    /etc/init.d/networking stop
    rmmod pcnet32
    rmmod vmxnet
    depmod -a
    modprobe vmxnet
    /etc/init.d/networking start
