I have a feeling this problem is what was causing my vmnet interfaces to not initialize correctly as well. I ended up having to add definitions in interfaces for my vmnet1 and vmnet8 or they came up w/o IP configured, as well in kdenetworkmanager they showed up in the list of configurable devices which they never did before.
Now that I have static assignments for them they don't show up in kdenetworkmanager any longer.
