VMware Workstation on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Hello,

I am a little bit buggy for the moment.

I am running VMware Workstation PRO 12.5.7 build-5813279 on the latest Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ( Linux HP-EliteBook-850 4.8.0-58-generic #63~16.04.1) and it looks like that I have problem with the Virtual Network at start-up. I  have no vmnet (1) network after boot

I remarked this on my VM-Guests as they were complaining about having no network connection. However if I  change to the "Virtual Network Editor" and press "SAVE" ( without changing any of my parameters), my VM-Network starts  up as usual

My Ifconfig -a

vmnet1Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:56:c0:00:01
inet addr:192.168.2.1  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

The output of /etc/init.d/vmware restart :

While googling I found some issues on secure boot, but as far I can follow these threats , Secure boot is turned off.

Is there are workaround to this ?
