As I said you had to add the package. If you use CLI eCos config tool
the steps would be

  ecosconfig new pc_wmWare redboot
  ecosconfig add eth_drivers
  ...

NOTE: 'eth_drivers' is alias for CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS package.

Also, you have not use default startup for RedBoot, FLOPPY? Set that
properly.

I believe in that what you can do the same using GUI eCos config tool:

  Build
    Packages
      Keywords: 'Common ethernet support'
      Add >>
      ...

If your VMware bundle will support eCos Ethernet NIC for PC WMware
target, I hope you can get networking on it, though there is *NO
WARRANTY*. Seek on the list I call someones managed it.
