[This method](https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/virtualbox/6.0/admin/usbtrafficcapturing.html) was unreliable in my experience as I used earlier, I might need to recheck if it works.

for now you have to run `vmware-modconfig --console --install-all` on every log in
basically the reason manual install does not work is because it has no way to load modules for stuff like vmnet (enables network connections) upon log in as normally those would be systemd services
if you could find a way to run that vmware-modconfig upon log in it should get you by for now
