VMware Fusion 4.x Network Script updated

Hello all, yesterday I found a wonderful script for managing virtual networks in VMware Fusion form DaveP (tokamak300-20091029.zip), unfortunately it was not recently updated and was not working for VMware Fusion 4.x, because all installation paths are changed since VMF3.

I share DaveP script  - fixed and working for VMware Fusion 4.x.

However I do not give any warranty and support!

If you download it you AGREE to use it on your RISK!

I also added short INSTALL and README instructions!

It's fixed --profile load function!

I'm not native English you could find some spells, sorry about that!

Hope it will be useful for someone...

Greetings

EDIT:

1.More info about this script can be found here http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8013 form Dave Parsons - the one who wrote tokamak.sh

2. This also can be useful add-ons VMX Extras for modify Guest VMX file... after adding additional vmnetX!!! form Eric Tung

Although script will give you choose to setup vmnet interface numbering form 0-254 - ONLY VALID AND SUPPORTED form VMware Fusion are  numbers form 0-9 ( up to 10 virtual interfaces maximum - according to the VMware help ) you have 3 default vmnet1 (Host-Only), vmnet2 (or vmnet0) bridged, vmnet8 ( NAT) so you can add up to 7 more ( not checked! but should work if you need more than one)

I did try it with adding one more vmnet5 without virtual DHCP on it for testing "Router like OSes" ( example: IPFire, pfSense, and PacketFence ) I needed to isolate my hosts and put them "behind" these VM instances and get dynamic IP form them instead form default VMware DHCP.

You can also configure everything form the terminal without using any of these programs - using only VMware build-in command line tools but, they will make your life a bit easier...
