  • bringing up ethernet failed on 7 beta installed on VMware

    Posted on

    i do not know how to configure network (ethernet) during installation of redhat 7 beta on a VMware (host system is Windows 7).
    I thought after the installation was complete either Linux would automatically detect the ethernet during boot or i could use some network management tools after the system was up.
    But i found from dmesg there is no ethernet detected by the kernel and from Applications on desktop there is no any networt
    management tool available to use.

    Should i re-install 7 beta and try to figure out how to configure network before installation starts?
    Or is there any method i can use to bring up network on 7 beta?
    The output of 'ifconfig' on my 7 beta follows.

    lo: flags=73 mtu 65536
