Good morning
I'm hoping for a resolution to an issue I'm currently having with the latest kernel release and Workstation Pro (Free Edition). Every time I try to open Workstation, it's prompting me to reinstall modules that ultimately fail (see screenshots). Also see the attached log file. After doing some research, I see the issue is that several header files are missing. I've tried to manually compile and install original modules, but with no success. I'm still faced with an incompatibility issue and the latest kernel. This problem does not occur when I switch back to kernel 6.14.
I'm currently running the latest kernel (6.15.4) on Fedora 42. My hardware specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7840U Memory: Crucial 96 GB 5600 DDR5

As you are using external modules, please contact the authors of them as there's nothing we can do here about them, sorry.

Thanks Christopher for reporting this issue.
Please note that Fedora 42 is not yet officially supported as a host operating system for Workstation. Refer following link for 'Supported host operating systems Workstation Pro': https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?legacyId=80807
