Issue:
No NICs are reported by ifconfig -a.
VMware Tools are installed.

Solution A:
1. Rename the vsock.ko kernel module.
2. Run regenerate initram

Solution B:
1. Rerun the VMware Tools Config program
# vmware-config-tools.pl
(Take defaults. Did NOT clobber kernel's already existing VMware modules.)
# rmmod vmxnet
# depmod -a
# modprobe vmxnet
# /etc/init.d/network start
