[SOLVED] VMware guest host - No connection

I have installed vmware workstation from AUR and i only use VMware Player. I deployed a VM but while trying to connect network adapter i get:
Could not connect 'Ethernet0' to virtual network 'dev/vmnet0'.

2018-01-14T18:22:05.937-06:00| vmx| I125: VNET: MACVNetPortOpenDevice: Ethernet0: can't open vmnet device (No such file or directory)
2018-01-14T18:22:05.937-06:00| vmx| I125: VNET: MACVNetPort_Connect: Ethernet0: can't open data fd

2018-01-14T18:22:05.938-06:00| vmx| I125: ----------------------------------------

$ lsmod | grep vmnet
vmnet                  61440  0

Any idea?

Re: [SOLVED] VMware guest host - No connection

Ok, i got it:

/etc/vmware/networking file is missing. Even if you create it by yourself it will give you an error, because vmnet* process is not initialized, the solution is to start service (systemctl start vmware-networks.service)


I hope this gets added to the wiki article.

Why not add it yourself?  It is a wiki.
