Multiple NIC Cards in VMWARE

Can I choose which Mac Card VMWARE should choose for network connection. I would like to have my Mac OS use the internal Ethernet on my Macbook Pro and would like Fusion to use the Wireless Card? I know you can do this with other emulator software and was wondering if you can do it with Fusion.

Thanks.

It's possible, but unfortunately there's currently no GUI to do it. You need to edit /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh - look for the line about eth0. After making the edit, reboot (or run boot.sh --restart) to pick up the change.
