What have you installed?
If there's a "device", they'll show up in ifconfig -a.

If nothing shows up there's no (detected) devices. VMware shouldn't have any detection issues. If a network is configured to the VM, it should show up.

If you think you have done all this and it's still not showing up, I'd check the boot up logs and see if there are any hints there.

HOSTADDR(1)						      General Commands Manual						       HOSTADDR(1)

NAME
hostaddr - show ethernet address, IP address or hostname SYNOPSIS
hostaddr [-eia] [-E eth-device] [-I ip-device] DESCRIPTION
Without any of the -eia options, hostaddr shows the ethernet address, IP address and hostname of the local host on one line in the given order. With options only the wanted fields are shown, still in the same order, not in option order. OPTIONS
-e Show the ethernet address. -i Show the IP address. This will not work if no IP address has been found by RARP or by setting it with ifconfig(8). -a Show the fully qualified hostname. The IP address is shown again if it can't be translated to a host name. (This usually indicates that the DNS reverse address translation tables are incomplete.) SEE ALSO
ifconfig(8), rarpd(8), nonamed(8), set_net_default(8), boot(8). DIAGNOSTICS
"Timeout" Hostaddr timed out trying to get the IP address. This means that the network connection is out of order or that the setup of the machine is bad. AUTHOR
