Which branch is this? Is your local repository updated? This has been addressed long ago and, in fact, workstation 17.0.2 has this addressed even unpatched.

[AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support.

  • workstation-17.0.2 8b2d314 modules: make COMPAT_LINUX_VERSION_CHECK_LT less tricky

Definitely not, this would never call netif_rx_ni() on a kernel >= 5.18. Even unpatched 17.0.2 would not.

Edit: also, this version has netif_rx() on line 355, netif_rx_ni() call is line 353. This also suggests you are trying to build a different source.

[AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support.

That's a known problem but not something I can do anything about as this is a closed source userspace application. Build the modules directly instead (option "2a" in INSTALL document).

As I said, the source you are trying to build is not current workstation-17.0.2 head.
