How to set vmnet* to promiscuous mode permanently using systemd

Hi,

I used to be able to edit the /etc/init.d/vmware file with the chmod line below to get the interfaces to create in promiscuous mode always.

vmwareStartVmnet()
  vmwareLoadModule $vnet
  "$BINDIR"/vmware-networks --start >> $VNETLIB_LOG 2>&1
  chmod a+rw /dev/vmnet*
}

No after installing the workstation 14 package from the AUR, systemd services are creating the networks and the /etc/init.d/vmware file does not exist and I cant find where to edit the config.

What would be the simplest way to do this while still using the systemd service files?

In the mean time I have just created an additional systemd service which does this for me.

Thanks, A
