VMWare Fusion does not honour bridge networking with Mac OS guest

Well, the title says it all...

I am running Vmware Fusion 11.0.3 under Mac OS 10.14.4 with various guest OS VMs.

Overall, except for the odd/random crash (yes it happens from time to time) things are working fairly ok. I, however, have an issue with networking with Mac OS guest OS (ie running Mac OS 10.14 as a guest under Fusion). No matter what I do the virtual network card will run in NAT mode, not in bridged mode. I have tried many things, including rebuilding a VM from scratch - always the same. I get a DHCP assigned IP from the Fusion DHCP server and no access to the bridged network, be it in "automatic mode" or by dedicating an adapter to it.

The odd thing is that the exact same machine / fusion deployment works as expected with Linux or Windows VMs. This only happens with MacOS.

What gives ??
