I've been trying various ways of installing Centos 6.3 in VMware Fusion 4.1.3 (on a Macbook Air OS X 10.8.2) this afternoon, but whichever installation media I choose, I end up with no network configuration at all.
* In /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices, there are no ethernet interface files (e.g. ifcfg-eth0)
* when I run ifconfig, only the loopback interface is shown,
* when I run ifconfig -a, I see an eth0 interface, and when I run ifconfig eth0 up, it comes up with an ipv6 address (which, I confess, I do not understand how to route to my home ipv4 network).
* netstat -rn shows an empty routing table.
I create the VM each time using all the default settings, which includes a NAT-based network device. Are there some additional steps I need to go through to get this working properly?
