Overview of the Issue
I am trying to build a VM using bridged networking. I was previously using whatever the default was set to, and then changed to bridged to test something. When set to bridged, every build fails immediately with:
2022/08/08 09:51:37 packer-builder-vmware-iso plugin: Located networkmapper configuration file using Fusion6: /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/networking
2022/08/08 09:51:37 packer-builder-vmware-iso plugin: HostIP discovered device matching bridged: vmnet0
2022-08-08T09:51:37-07:00: ==> vmware-iso.srt_ubuntu20_small: Error detecting host IP: Could not find vmnetdhcp conf file: /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet0/dhcpd.conf
2022-08-08T09:51:37-07:00: ==> vmware-iso.srt_ubuntu20_small: Error detecting host IP: Could not find vmnetdhcp conf file: /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet0/dhcpd.conf
2022/08/08 09:51:37 machine readable: error-count []string{"1"}
2022/08/08 09:51:37 machine readable: vmware-iso.srt_ubuntu20_small,error []string{"Error detecting host IP: Could not find vmnetdhcp conf file: /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet0/dhcpd.conf"}
Reproduction Steps
I'm not exactly sure. All I've done is run a vmware-iso build a few times unsuccessfully, and then changed network to bridged and try to run it again.

Additional Context
- I found a few closed issues that seem to be the same issue, however, none of them had solutions or workarounds that work for me. (Note: these are both in
hashicorp/packerand not this plugin's repo, but they are a few years old, so I wasn't sure if that was before this plugin was maybe split from the core packer project? Please let me know if I need to resubmit there). - While I don't have
/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet0/dhcpd.conf, I do have/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet1/dhcpd.confand/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/dhcpd.conf. Unsure why these are incorrectly labeled? My next attempt is going to be after I recursively linkvmnet8tovmnet0. No idea if that will work, but we'll see!

More info:
- Linking
vmnet8tovmnet0didn't work. - Fully reinstalling VMware Fusion doesn't change anything. Still only has 1 and 8, no 0.
This seems like something is possibly hard-coded to vmnet0 somewhere and is now out-of-date?

vmnet0 is linked to the bridged adapter, but if you try to view it in the VMware Virtual Network Editor it will not appear unless you have admin privileges.

I have a similar issue with vmware workstation 16.2.5 on Windows and packer 1.9.4.
Error detecting host IP: Unable to find host IP from devices [vmnet0], last error: No host declarations containing vmnet0 found

Possibly related?

I do have luck if I comment out
# network = "bridged"
and use instead:
vmx_data = {
"ethernet0.connectionType" = "bridged"
}
