Waiting for the VM to receive an address...

[gowthamshankar05]

I've tried using spox/ubuntu-arm and that works fine
but when I tried using jacobw/fedora35-arm64 it got stuck with the following error.

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'vmware_desktop' provider...
==> default: Cloning VMware VM: 'jacobw/fedora35-arm64'. This can take some time...
==> default: Checking if box 'jacobw/fedora35-arm64' version '3.6.8' is up to date...
==> default: Verifying vmnet devices are healthy...
==> default: Preparing network adapters...
==> default: Starting the VMware VM...
==> default: Waiting for the VM to receive an address...

and my mac got stuck here and I'm using the latest version vagrant-vmware-desktop (3.0.3).

I'm having the same problem on Fedora 37/38 using a custom centos/7 based box
vagrant-vmware-desktop: 3.0.3
vagrant-vmware-utility: 1.0.22
vmware workstation pro: 17.0.2 build-21581411

In /var/log/messages I see the following output:

The mentioned file /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases is populated with currently 20 entries but the mac address it is trying to fetch is indeed missing from the file.

Neither restarting the vagrant-vmware-utility nor rebooting solves this issue
