You are 100% right :)
If you are running VMware 5.x, then you can use the em driver (Intel
Pro/1000) instead, which is far more functional than the lnc driver. To
do so:
1. Shutdown the VMware system
2. Locate the *.vmx file for your virtual machine
3. Open the *.vmx file in your favourite text editor
4. Add the following line:
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
5. Save the file, and re-open the VM in VMware
6. Enjoy a more functional NIC under VMware!
Cheers
Antony
