I just installed Vmware Fusion 12 on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 and virtual machine can't be launched, because network couldn't be configured. When I try to run
sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli -c
```
Configuring Bridged network vmnet0
Configuring hostonly network vmnet1, probing for unused subnet ...
Configuring NAT network vmnet8, probing for unused subnet ...
Failed to create DHCP configuration file for network vmnet1
Failed to create DHCP configuration file for network vmnet8
Failed to configure default network settings
Stopped all configured services on all networks
```
sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --status
Failed to initialize.
I tried to reboot mac, reinstall vmware fusion, run `sudo spctl --master-disable` but this didn't help. What should I do to make vmware networking working on Mac?
I was resolved this by manually loading vmmon and vmnet kernel extensions. I had to run these commands:
sudo kextload /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/kexts/vmmon.kext/
sudo kextload /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/kexts/vmnet.kext
After first trying of load these kernel extensions and getting an error about security policy I was able to see "Allow Vmware to load kernel extensions" in System Preferences/General. It was not there before I tried to load kext. I allowed this settings and after that I was able to load kernel extensions and now Vmware Fusion is running on my desktop.
