Hello folks,

I have a gentoo installation as a guest oks running inside sun
virtualbox. After doing a proper clone, everything seems to work fine,
except the network interface.

I noticed that, after cloning, the eth0 interface has been renamed to
eth1 inside the cloned vm.

I do not why this happened. Of course, the new vm clone image has
another mac address for the nic. eth0 is not used inside the cloned vm.

Is there a way to explicitly define the nic names in a way that I can
make sure, that a certain nic (or mac address) is always assigned the
name eth0? I heard, that something can be done using udev rules, but is
this the intended way? How could this be done?

Thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards,
André
