I needed to use VMware Player for a couple different things and I have no network connection: there is no available driver. Obviously I can't connect to the internet to download a driver (directly in the driver installation process) though I can obviously drag and drop driver files if need-be from the host OS easily enough.
- Yes, the device is connected.
- Yes, I've attempted to install the driver by manual selection (AMD-8111 10/100 Integrated Ethernet Controller is the only one I can select).
- Yes, I've tried all the various network devices available from VMware Player and restarted Windows XP 64 bit before attempting to install a driver.
- Yes, I've installed VMware Tools and manually pointed the device installer to it's directories without success.
- Yes, I've spent a few hours trying to find a working answer around the web.
- The device instance id is PCIVEN_1022&DEV_2000&SUBSYS_20001022&REV_104&47B7341&0&0888.
- I've manually searched for any INF files that contain 'vm' in the file name without success.
- I've looked in the VMware tools directory for INF files without success.
Am I missing something or what? The host system is Windows 7 64 bit.

When I set up the virtual guest I already had the virtual drive file with the OS already loaded on it though from an earlier/different install of the host OS. This means that when I setup the guest OS it had no way to detect the hard drive image and thus the operating system version. So by default it opted for Windows XP (not 64 bit*). After setting it up I removed the default new drive and setup the old/still working virtual drive. After I shut it down and changed the operating system version. Since I loathe people who don't bother to post a working answer after they've figured it out here is a screen shot to help aid those who encountered the same issue:
This also fixed another miscellaneous missing driver. By default it uses some Intel network driver and it automatically detected it after I corrected the VM's OS version.
