How to Use the Missing Virtual Network Editor in VMware Player
The above link illustrates how to run VMware Virtual Network Editor using VMware Player installation on Windows with a slight touch on Linux. I am going to expand on the Linux side because it is less obvious.
The application is already installed at /usr/lib/vmware/bin/ directory. A default symbolic link to a more commonly known name of vmware-netcfg is probably already created in the same directory during installation of VMware Player.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Mar 14 11:45 vmware-netcfg -> /usr/lib/vmware/bin/appLoader*
If not, you can do so with the following command:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/bin/appLoader /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg
To make it more convenient to run VMware Virtual Network Editor (vmware-netcfg) on Linux, make another symbolic link to the user bin directory, then run as root.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg /usr/bin/vmware-netcfg sudo vmware-netcfg &

Wouldn’t it be nice to credit the original source? I gave this solution back in 2011: https://communities.vmware.com/message/1541772 .

Thank you, Michael, for sharing the source of your original solution, which was incorporated in the VMware documentation where I first found the instructions.
