I am using Workstation 12.5.6 on Linux Mint 18.1, but this happens in Windows 10 as well.
I configure several devices in the Virtual Network Editor. They show up ad devices on the host machine. I configure some as NAT and some as Host-only.
No matter what vmnet I assign the device that is set up as NAT, as soon as I reboot, that device disappears and only reappears if I go back into Virtual Network Editor and click save.
Is this proper behavior, and if not (I can't see how it could be) how do I keep the network configurations static between boots?
