open-vm-dkms is unable to build drivers on Precise currently for both the stock 3.2 kernel and the newer HWE (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack) kernels.

For those needing an HWE kernel in your Precise installation, the Saucy or newer HWE kernels are supported by a new open-vm-tools-lts-trusty package being introduced in bug #1275656.

Older kernels, which are still supported, will still require a fix in open-vm-dkms as the newer packages mentioned above require a v3.9 or newer kernel.
