Network unavailability in RHEL7 (VMware) & how did I fixed it.

I was playing around with RHEL 7 evaluation version by firing up a VM lately. One of the issues that I faced was there was no network available other than lo. I ran out of my tricks after almost an hour and finally found the solution in here. Below is what I did to fix the issue -

1. Edited 'Red Hat 7 Eval.vmx'
2. Changed the value of guestOS from "other26xlinux" to "rhel6-64"
3. Added below entry -
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"

Fired up the VM after those changes and voila, it picked the network now. All good!
