Bug Description
linux-image-
ethernet0.
However, if linux-image-
lspci shows "Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01)"
FWIW, the vmxnet module bundled with the -virtual kernel image works successfully when the guest .vmx file has ethernet0.

To answer my own question, after scanning the source of the e1000e driver, it appears it does not look for PCI ID 8086:100f - therefore will not load for the 82545EM NIC emulated by VMware.
The e1000 driver will need to be added.
