Actually, in this case, the kernel-headers and kernel-devel packages are

I know this because I was having the same problem and, because I need
VMware Workstation for my work (some things needed for my job require
Windows - arrgh!!!), I had to roll back to the 3.6 kernel. Currently, I
can confirm that VMware Workstation 9.0.1 is working with kernel version
3.6.11-3.fc18.x86_64 - and is working with that kernel unmodified (no
patches from VMware needed).
Now, I don't recall the exact error message with kernel 3.7 because I
reverted back to the 3.6 series (via yum distro-sync), but VMware
Workstation 9.0.1 clearly is having trouble finding the kernel headers
and other associated components with the 3.7 series of the kernel that
is in the updates-testing repository.
So, what that means is that something with respect to where the header
files are placed and located between these two series of kernels has
been changed to the point that applications like VMware Workstaion can
no longer find them. I would need to go back to the 3.7 series kernel to
get the exact error message. I may have it in an old VMware log file, so
I'll check that too next chance.
I've also had to back away from kernel 3.7 because even a symbolic link
fix floating around WS 9.0.1 won't compile (as usual Virtualbox works
fine!). Thke kernel dev seem to have moved the location of the heaader
files (VMwareecan't find but I can - their search has always been weak).
