The "shouldn't" above was meant like "the pkg can be changed so that
it wouldn't be required". The *_post.sh scripts are necessary at this
moment even on -current, unless you create the device files manually.

Did you do what the pkg install advised to do? From INSTALL:

"""
Copy the following files from ${PKG_PREFIX}/etc/rc.d to /etc/rc.d:

linuxrtc vmmon vmnet vmnetif

and append the content of ${PKG_PREFIX}/etc/rc.conf.d/vmware to /etc/rc.conf:

vmware_prefix=${PKG_PREFIX}
vmmon=YES
vmnet=YES
linuxrtc=NO
# XXX should cater for multiple interfaces
vmnetif=YES
vmnetifname=vmnet1
vmnetdev=/dev/vmnet1
vmnetifconfig="inet 172.16.212.1 netmask 0xffffff00"
vmnetif_use_dhcpd=NO

Then, reboot your system.
