No GUI-option to change ethernet0.virtualDev = "*" ?

Just out of curiosity, why doesn't there seem to be a GUI-way in VMware Workstation to change the option ethernet0.virtualDev = "*" in the VMX file?

Speaking of this particular option, are there any recommendations about which type to choose when planning on using a virtualized Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS as a router on a host that's running W7? Since I've got a fast fiber internetconnection (1Gbps up and down), I'm curious if the type of virtualized network card matters with bandwidths this high.

As a Windows user I also prefer the comfort of editing configuration in intuitive, guided GUI option dialogs rather than having to guess about possible options and reasonable option combinations.
