You now have
ethernet*.virtualDev = "e1000"
possible other settings are
ethernet*.virtualDev = "vlance" - thats the PCnet32
ethernet*.virtualDev = "vmxnet" - thats the old vmxnet-card
ethernet*.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" - thats what you want
ethernet*.virtualDev = "e1000e" - a newer version of the E1000 which uses an PCI-express slot
if you do not specify ethernet*.virtualDev you get the default "vlance"
