I have installed Windows 8 (x64bit) Pro., Windows XP, and CentOS 6.0 with vmware fusion 5.0.2 over my brand new iMac '27 late 2012, but neither one can connect to the Internet. However, there was no problem with the same installation on my iMac mid 2011 and and Win 8 network works well.
The network board recognized by Windows 8 is Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection, and in vmware fusion's configuration file, called Windows 8 x64.vmx, I found a line.

Any one has the same problem or can give me some hints?
Thanks a lot!
