Problems with Solaris Networking and VMWare

Having installed OpenSolaris snv_54 on VMWare Fusion, all was well. I got network working with MASQ'd ethernet. But after installing vmware tools, the default interface changed from pcn0 to vmxnet0 and I was unable to get networking going again. dig www.google.com correctly resolved the domain, but ping'ing www.google.com didn't work. The solution involved fiddling with nsswitch.conf.

*confused*
