emerge --info output

I'm trying to install vmware-modules-304.2 package,but the process fails showing missing requirements in the kernel. Missing modules would be:

CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI
CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI_VSOCKETS

I have tried installing the package disabled USE options, vmci and vsock, with the same result.

@Juan,

I just want to make sure that I understand the issue correctly, so to be clear:

USE="-vmci -vsock" implies that you must have CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI and CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI_VSOCKETS built into the kernel.

USE="vmci vsock" implies that you must NOT have CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI and CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI_VSOCKETS built into the kernel.

Can you confirm the combination of USE flags and kernel modules are are trying to use?
