thanks,

$ rpm -qf `which vmware`
VMwareWorkstation-4.5.2-8848
$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.9-1.667

works without the *any-any-* toolkit
the only thing i had to do is
  # cp -rp /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices
as  described in the release-notes


-------
$ grep -3i vmware /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RELEASE-NOTES-x86-en
  Note

   VMware WS 4.5.2 is known to work on Fedora Core 3 after the following
   workarounds are used:

     o You must upgrade the kernel modules and configuration using the
       unofficial vmware-any-any-* toolkit available from:

       [5]http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/

     o After vmware-config.pl is run and the VMware modules are loaded, the
       following command creates the /sys/class/* nodes needed for udev:

       cp -rp /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices/
