VMWare workstation update to 11.1.2 build 2770323 breaks Linux Networking

[amirzadeh]

Hi,

I saw that there was an update to Workstation 11 this morning so I applied it.  Sadly this is had the effect of disabling all networking on all my Linux VMs.  I even downloaded a fresh VM just to make sure it wasn't anything weird with my settings, and the new fresh VM also cannot connect to the network ... Bridge, NAT, etc... all tried. 

CentOS 7 64-bit is the primary VM that I need to get back up and running.

The same VM copied over to a Mac runs in fusion pro without issue and has network access.

Thanks.

This sounds remarkably similar to my recent post here:

Does my description match yours?

Hi,

Close but no cigar.  My interfaces are up, but setting them to DHCP simply fails to start 'networking' with on real error and setting the IP STATIC, starts networking but you cannot ping anywhere or anything.

Thanks.
