-### Preparing a VmWare Fusion Host
-The *vmxnet3 driver* is required on a GigE Network Adapter used by VPP. 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. For more information, see interfaces(5).
-
-source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
-
-# The loopback network interface
-auto lo
-iface lo inet loopback
-
-# The primary network interface
-auto ens160
-iface ens160 inet dhcp \ No newline at end of file
