    The Big-IP management interface uses E1000 drivers, but the rest of the interfaces should use VMXNET3 drivers. Check out the interfaces driver selection for interfaces not initializing. If they are not using VMXNET recreate the interfaces on the VM with the correct drivers and see if they initialize without error (possibly after a reboot).

Yes! Just found it!

 

Go into Virtual Machine path and edit the .vmx file. Add ethernet*.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" and change the * for the number of interface.

 

I did that and voiala!
