The reason is the hardware upgrade to version 7. The PCI bus needs to be properly configured. You need to add these bits to the vmx file. See for example a vmx file generated by WS/Fusion:

pciBridge0.present = "TRUE"
pciBridge4.present = "TRUE"
pciBridge4.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge4.functions = "8"
pciBridge5.present = "TRUE"
pciBridge5.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge5.functions = "8"
pciBridge6.present = "TRUE"
pciBridge6.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge6.functions = "8"
pciBridge7.present = "TRUE"
pciBridge7.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
pciBridge7.functions = "8"

Also make sure to remove the slot number for the ethernet device (this line: ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = xx) - it will be newly allocated on power up.

Thanks, it worked.

I think this can be closed, fixed with PR 343.
