[SOLVED] vmware-networks.service failed because a timeout was exceeded

Hello all,

Despite using different versions of VMWare Workstation from the AUR and even tried the bundle provided by VMWare, I'm unable to get the network service working on my laptop.
Even tried another distro (Ubuntu & OpenSUSE, since both are officially supported by VMWare) and it worked on them.
When starting the service, job hang until the timeout occur, without further information.

Everything else seems to be working, at least for my use case.

Model : Fujitsu LIFEBOOK U7411
Kernel : 6.2.7-arch1-1

/etc/vmware/networking content :

OK, today it's working. The only thing I did since last time was to add microcode at boot, that I forgot.

Solved then.
