On VmWare -Fusion, the default Network Adapter driver is an *Intel 82545EM (e1000)*, and there -is no GUI to change it to *vmxnet3*. The change must be done manually in the VM's -configuration file as follows: - -- Bring up the VM library window: **Window -> Virtual Machine Library** -- Right click on the VM where you want to change the driver: - <*VM-Name*> **-> Show in Finder**. This pops up a new Finder window with a line - for each VM that Fusion knows about. -- Right click on the VM where you want to change the driver: - <*VM-Name*> **-> Show package contents**. This brings up a window with the - contents of the package. -- Open the file <*VM-Name*> **.vmx** with your favorite text editor. -- For each Network Adapter that you want used by VPP, look for the - Network Adapter's driver configuration. For example, for the VM's first - Network Adapter look for: - ``` - ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" - ``` - Replace `e1000` with `vmxnet3`: - ``` - ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" - ``` -and restart the VM. - -If you replaced the driver on your VM's primary Network Adapter, you will -have to change the primary network interface configuration in Linux. - -First, get the new primary network interface name: -``` -sudo lshw -class network -businfo - -Bus info Device Class Description -======================================================== -pci@0000:03:00.0 ens160 network VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller -``` -Replace the existing primary network interface name in `/etc/network/interfaces` -with the above device name (ens160): -``` -# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system, -# and how to activate them.
