title: Virtual machine access to the host ethernet port
body: <p>I am using a Xubuntos virtual machine (Xubuntu with Tinyos) on VMware Fusion and I need the virtual machine to access directly to ethernet port of my Mac.</p>
  
  <p>I want to emulate a direct ethernet cable between the VM and the board I am trying to program (the VM would be 192.168.0.1 and the board 192.168.0.2). </p>
  
  <p>How do I tell VMware to let the VM control directly the Ethernet port ?</p>
