I believe if you disconnect and then reconnect the NIC while the VM is
running through Workstation, Debian will then detect it. Or you could just
switch to a different NIC (if this is indeed the problem). Our current 3.5
PF install is running on RedHat, and works fine, so I imagine CentOS would
work fine.
