It was another driver that vmware tools orginally detected/installed. I 
didn't write down its name (I should have). I assumed that my failure to 
connect to the Internet was due to the wrong NIC driver so I started 
messing around with that. I'll go about this more slowly now. I just 
uninstalled/reinstalled vmware tools. It did not detect the NIC at all. 
If I recall correctly its notthe NIC driver I have to get right firsat - 
it's the PCI controller driver I need , then it sees everything else 
accurately...
