Very strange thing. I had some entries in vmx_data:
"ethernet0.present" : "TRUE",
"ethernet0.startConnected" : "TRUE",
"ethernet0.virtualdev" : "vmxnet3",
"ethernet0.networkName" : "Network 1",
I had to reduce these to
"ethernet0.virtualdev" : "vmxnet3",
and then my vm got an ip address. Everything is working now.
If I get some time, I'll do a clean build and post a summary of all the
things I had to do to get vmware working correctly.
