No, there's a database of interface names and MAC addresses somewhere.
Distros have started making sure that ethx is always the same device
by making sure that it always has the same MAC. So when a device
shows up with a different MAC, it gets a new name.
The easiest way to work around this is to provide a MAC on the UML
command line.
