To change the bridge interface in VMware, the vmware-config.pl script can be used, or eth0 can be manually replaced with eth1 in the /etc/vmware/location file.
Our udev scripts were quite buggy in Mandriva 2006 regarding vmnet interfaces, they were automatically set up to use DHCP, which is wrong. An updated package in Mandriva 2006.0 community fixes this issue, but the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-vmnet* files have to be manually removed.
Vanilla vmnet module from VMware workstation oops when using bridge over wireless. It seems to be fixed in VMware-any-to-any-update patches.
It seems to be working on Suse 10.1 with VMware server, according to a Wireless and bridging topic on VMware forums.
Though, I was only able to connect with the host system, and not to other hosts on the local network. I've tried various ipw2200 and kernel releases, so the problem would be more likely to be on VMware's side.
