Can't modify network card type. API PUT virtualHardwareSecion/networkCards FAILS

[markajohnson]

I'm trying to modify the network interface card type using the API call and I'm getting an error.

First, here's the call to retrieve the current information:

GET: https://192.168.30.25/api/vApp/vm-1d6fa955-cbd8-438f-bee0-11fc99526f47/virtualHardwareSection/networ...

        <rasd:Connection xmlns:ns12="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5" ns12:ipAddress="192.168.34.43" ns12:primaryNetworkConnection="true" ns12:ipAddressingMode="MANUAL">Dev vCloud - Direct</rasd:Connection>

        <rasd:Description>PCNet32 ethernet adapter on "Dev vCloud - Direct"</rasd:Description>

        <rasd:ResourceSubType>PCNet32</rasd:ResourceSubType>

        <rasd:ResourceType>10</rasd:ResourceType>

    </Item>

</RasdItemsList>

Now I change the ResourceSubType and send this:

<rasd:ResourceSubType>VMXNET3</rasd:ResourceSubType>

</Item>

</RasdItemsList>

And I get this error:

It appears to want the attribute "ipAddressingMode" in the Connection element but my XML does have that.  I've also tried putting ipAddressingMode as the first attribute but that didn't help.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
