I would not be interested in Automatic bridging if I was able to manually select a different NIC each time.
My application involves different NICs being available at different times.
It didn't make sense to me that they would have automatic bridging in their product for so many versions if it doesn't work properly.
But then I guess Workstation's NAT doesn't work properly either so its not that surprising.
Thanks for answering my questions.
I'll just bridge both and handle the switchover in software inside my VMs.
I was just seeking clarification on their vague documentation.
