Wired network missing on Ubuntu 20.04 with VMWare Workstation Pro 15

I don't think this really has to do with VMWare Workstation, but a fresh new Ubuntu 20.04 install was missing the wired network. This was fixed by:

Modify /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all-yaml

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    ens33:
      dhcp4: true


Execute cmds:
$ sudo netplan generate
$ sudo netplan apply
$ sudo service network-manager restart

SOLVED: Configure Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi the easy way

I recently had to configure the Wi-Fi on my Raspberry Pi which was running on Raspian Jessie Lite 8.0 (Debian).  It took a few attempts, but in the end, what I ended up with was very simple and it worked nicely.

I just modified /etc/network/interfaces with (changed in red text):

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'

# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0 iface
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# Wireless configuration

auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wpa-ssid "myVisibleSSID"
        wpa-psk "password"

Then just remove the network cable and reboot.  Presto magic!
