Static IP with Linux vSphere blueprint ?

Hi,

I tried to create a Linux (vSphere) blueprint with a static IP. It works with Windows  blueprint but nothing on Linux

In my Linux Blueprint, I added some custom properties :

	VirtualMachine.Network0.ProfileName	DMZ-DEV	No	No
	VMware.Network.Type	VMXNET3	No	No
	VMware.VirtualCenter.OperatingSystem	Debian6_64Guest	No	No

Blueprint used a clone method. On reference VM, VMware tools is installed...  but not gugent agent...

Gugent agent is mandatory for Linux ? or it is because Debian is not supported (no gugent agent) ?

Thank you in advance
