Sharing physycal ethernet port between Mavericks and Ubuntu using VMware Fusion

Hi all,

I'm using VMware Fusion 6.0.2 over Mac OS Mavericks, and I need to connect a physical device to manage it using an Ubuntu 12.04 VM. In addition, the host computer is connected to a public network using Wi-Fi.

I can set the ip configuration of the physical device by USB, but I've been unable to get to it using ethernet, neither from the guest or the host machine. I've tried to configure the network adapter of the guest as NAT, and as bridged too. Nothing seems to work. I'm not sure if the VM is capable to manage the physical Ethernet port.

Any ideas for the network device configuration (NAT, bridget, etc.) or the ip's configuration??

Thanks a lot in advance.
