Writing a simple bash script: rmmod vmxnet modprobe vmxnet /etc/init.d/networking restart exit 0
and adding to to launch from my rc.local worked for me. Out of curiosity I removed the modprobe.d file that ravidgemole suggested and added vmxnet to my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules as Ruben suggested, and the tools fire up fine without messing with the module. (Thanks Ruben, easiest fix yet). Unfortunately I believe I am now suffering from bug #306835 in which the vmware-guestd dameon only runs for about 1 minute and dies. All that work for... well.... more work! Still better than windows though!
