public_network Bridge Static IP, VMware Provider - not working as expected

[frizop]

According to this #1269, I should be able to assign a static IP address on the public_network :bridge. Now I happen to do this frequently on Virtualbox VMs, so I assume this could be a fusion/vmware provider issue? Below is my Vagrantfile, and ip addr show output. What ends up happening is, I get a DHCP address (192.168.0.0/24).

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.define "node3" do |node3|
    node3.vm.box = "CorbanRaun/centos-6.5"
    node3.omnibus.chef_version = :latest

    node3.vm.hostname = "node3.local"

    node3.vm.provider "vmware_fusion" do |v|
      v.vmx["memsize"] = "1024"
      v.vmx["numvcpus"] = "2"
    end

    node3.vm.network "public_network", bridge: "en0: Wi-Fi (AirPort)", ip:"192.168.0.5"

    node3.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
      chef.cookbooks_path = "../cookbooks"
      chef.roles_path = "../roles"
      chef.data_bags_path = "../data_bags"
      chef.add_role "base"
    end
  end

end

Then, attempting to list the IPs, we can see it was never used.

And just FYI, this is the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 file that vagrant generates for this particular issue:

#VAGRANT-BEGIN
# The contents below are automatically generated by Vagrant. Do not modify.
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
DEVICE=eth1
#VAGRANT-END

So nothing? Can I get a refund then? 18 days and nothing? Not even a confirmation of a bug?

Sorry about this, we haven't been triaging Vagrant issues since we've been working on Terraform lately. For official support, please contact support@hashicorp.com in the future. If we didn't make that clear enough, it was in the original activation email we sent.

VMware doesn't support static IPs on public networks right now (only private). This is actually in an upcoming free update but this hasn't been released yet. Happy to refund you if this is something you need right away and sorry about that. Just email us at support or email me directly at mitchell@hashicorp.com and I can handle that for you.

@mitchellh do you know if VMware released the fix? It seems that it's not working yet. I'm running vagrant 1.6.5, VMware Fusion Version 6.0.5, Mac 10.10 (Yosemite).
