This is a problem that seems to appear on latest vmware-player ubuntu package. I use it every day and everytime I suspend my laptop I have to close vmware-player and do:
$ sudo /etc/ini.t/vmware-player restart Only then I can start vmware-player again and have working network on it. -- vmware and hibernation don't play nicely together https://launchpad.net/bugs/18180 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
