+VMware Workstation PRO 15 for Linux
+-----------------------------------
+
+VMware Workstation does not have a menu option to change the default driver
+(e1000) to the **vmxnet3** driver. VPP supports the **vmxnet3** driver.
+
+These instructions describe how to change the e1000 driver for VMware
+Workstation PRO 15 Linux. You may need to be a superuser for performing these
+steps.
+
+* Shut down the VM you are about to change.
+* From the vmware folder where vmware creates and stores the VM's, change the
+ directory to the specific VM which you want to modify, and use your favorite
+ text editor to open the corresponding VM's .vmx file. By default, it is
+ $HOME/vmware/<vm-name>/<vm-name>.vmx
+* Locate the line for the interface which you want to modify. For example, if it
+ is ethernet1, then change the line **ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000"** to
+ **ethernet1.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"**
+* Save the file and power on the VM.
