Hi Nicholas:
I can't give you specifics (I'm not familiar with running SRSS on
Linux), but here's one possibility to look into:
If you look through the docs, you'll see mention of "Shared
Interconnect/Sun Ray on a LAN" and "Dedicated Interconnect" (or
something like that). Apparently the early Sun Rays needed to be on a
dedicated network fabric, and then later Sun Rays could be used on a
plain old network.
The good news: the firmware will automatically be upgraded when the SR1
is connected to a current version of SRSS. The bad news: The older
firmware only works on the dedicated interconnect. So what you have to
do is setup a second ethernet port as a dedicated interconnect and plug
the Sun Ray into it (personally I used an Ethernet crossover cable, but
if you have a spare hub around that would probably work too). The
firmware will update, then you can use it on the LAN interconnect. In
your case, i don't know how that will react with running in a vmware
environment. Matter of fact, I don't know how SRSS in general reacts to
vmware.
I've bought two Sun Rays off eBay, and they've both needed this
treatment.
I mentioned this on my blog at:

Cheers,
Greg.
