[Novalug] How do I select different NICs in VMWare?

I have a laptop with a 10/100 Mb NIC (eth0) and an Intel wireless card
(eth1). I installed VMware Player back in Feb/March. It worked
perfectly. I loaded a guest OS and accessed the net via the wireless
connection. VMware server came out and I started trying that for the
USB 2.0 support (or at least I thought that it worked). Well, long
story short, I am now, after uninstalling/installing the VMware Player &
Server several times, unable to get the connection working.
I see bridging, NATing and host-only services being set right based on
the init.d start/stop:
bigtux:/etc/init.d # ./vmware stop
Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor done
Blocking file system: done
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done
Host network detection done
DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 done
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 done
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet2 done
DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 done
NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 done
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 done
Virtual ethernet done
bigtux:/etc/init.d # ./vmware start
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor done
Blocking file system: done
Virtual ethernet done
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done
Host network detection done
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) done
DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 done
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet2 done
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) done
DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 done
NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 done
bigtux:/etc/init.d #
So I think the big question is how can I switch around the virtual
NICs?? I will likely use the wired connection the most but will
occassionally use the wireless one in certain circumstances.
