Setup:
Windows 7 64 bit running vmware 7.1
Opensolaris 134 installed as guest in vm.
I got this installation working and networked by bridging the adapter
with the laptops nic.
That kind of connection means I need to have access to a router to be
able to connect to the guest.
So I want to create a host-only network as well. Something to switch
to when away from a router.
I understand from VMware manuals that this is possible. And have gone
thru the steps to create the virtual adapter for it. So in the
hardware listing there are 2 virtual network adaptors.
However on the guest... ifconfig only sees loop-back and e1000g0
(which is the bridged adaptor).

|mtu 8232 index 1
| inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff00
| e1000g0: flags=1000843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4
| mtu 1500 index 2
| inet 192.168.0.30 netmask fc00 broadcast 192.168.3.255
| ether 0:c:29:e3:61:4f
`
What do I need to do to help the OS discover the other adapter?
It appears to be setup on the vmware side, and reports `connected'
So it reports both `enabled' and `connected' and should be served an
address from the vmware built dhcp server.
However first it must be visible to the OS.
I thought maybe ifconfigs' `plumb' tool could help but apparently I
have to know the adapter name first or create it. I have only a foggy
grasp of how to go at that... or maybe better put, no grasp.
I'm hopeing someone here will have done something like this and be
able to coach me a bit.
