Will review, thanks!

Ah, I was wondering why the fix wasn't working... then realized I didn't apply this branch :P

This got it further, but I'm now getting:

==> vmware: Configuring network adapters within the VM...
No host IP was given to the Vagrant core NFS helper. This is
an internal error that should be reported as a bug.

After a halt and up cycle, back to the old...

Somewhat related? hashicorp/vagrant#7070

[zaiddabaeen]

That's weird. I have this fix up and running over for the development team right now. I don't think issue 7070 is related. I wouldn't also like to waste time on this, virtualbox does a great job even though it is slower for file syncing.

[geerlingguy]

@zaiddabaeen - I typically either use NFS or rsync, so the performance is close to identical (in terms of file access) on VirtualBox. If using native shared folders, then it's a pretty vast difference (in VMware's favor)—but I can't support a box that doesn't offer NFS support out of the box, and that seems to be one of the main difficulties for VMware and the Vagrant plugin right now :/
