VMware virtual network problem

Hello,
Recently I installed VMware using help from the official wiki page for it, and it works fine for running Windows 10 x64 inside a virtual machine, however it can’t connect to the network. Here are the errors I encounter:

from VMware Player:

Could not connect ‘Ethernet0’ to virtual network ‘/dev/vmnet1’.

Virtual devide ‘Ethernet0’ will start disconnected.

from VMware Workstation when trying to open Virtual Network Editor:

Fail
Network configuration is missing. Ensure that /etc/vmware/networking exists.

Doing the things mentioned in the following logs like starting some services didn’t change or fix the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Think you need virtual network editor, it should come with vmware workstation if I remember correctly. I installed vmware workstation 16.0.0-1 from the aur and that gives me vmware player and virtual network editor

I already have it, as I stated in my post:

from VMware Workstation when trying to open Virtual Network Editor:

I had the same error and I can’t remember how I fixed it, it was so long ago. It may have been vmware tools, you have rebooted after installing the kernel modules?

Yes, rebooted for many times.

And you have vmware tools installed as well?

Yes. It was one of the first things I tried.

After enabling AUR support and doing some updates, it got fixed automatically.
But for providing helpful information on what was causing the problem and how it got fixed, I don’t know what to post here. How to find the real culprit?
