Hi Tellrell, we should probably change the manual to say "If you're not using NetworkManager, do …".
If you're actually using NetworkManager inside that VM (chances are high!), instead of trxing to "sudo ifconfig…", just set up your network interface to a static IP Address with the right subnet through the graphical networking dialogue of the Linux Distro inside the VM. Note that it's also crucial that you pick a virtualized network card to be "emulated" inside the VM that is gigabit capable. Also note that unless you really know what you're doing, performance-wise, it's not recommended to do SDR hardware interfacing inside a VM; the additional layer of hardware virtualization (as you notice) doesn't make things easier, nor faster. But in general, with a good virtualized network card and bridged ethernet, yes, things should work.
