Windows 11 NIC on VmWare workstation

[NickTheGreek 160]

so we were excited to start using Windows 11

 

 

 

and the issue when using VmWare workstation was only one - no network

 

So i tried updating using tethered mobile connection, then used hardware ID to find another driver as Vmware tools did not solve this

 

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10D3&SUBSYS_07D015AD&REV_00\000C29FFFFF58EFB00

 

and nothing

 

Worse is, i installed on KVM and all worked flawlessly ...

 

so the problem was easy to solve in the end:

 

edit VMX add the following:

 

ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"

ethernet0.present = "TRUE"

 

voila
