This has been going on since at least PF 3.5 with the ZEN distribution.
RHEL/CentOS store the MAC address in the LAN adapter config info, and
create a new Linux eth# device entry when the MAC address changes due to
cloning or deploying a VM template.  There are directions around the list
archives that tell how to fix the problem.  It seems like the simple fix
would be to have whoever/whatever (person or scripts) builds the ZEN image
delete the eth0 device from the image.

As for the ZEN distribution itself, I personally gave up on the 4.x
version because it left me with the impression that it was only
"half-configured" out of the box.  Even worse, some of the stuff
that was in the ZEN package differed from examples in the manual, so
a cut/paste of sample config snippets required proof-reading them to
make sure they matched the ZEN conventions.  When I got to the point of
asking myself what config steps were done and which ones were skipped
in the ZEN build, I found myself starting at the top of the manual
with step #1 before coming to the realization that it would be less
of a headache to spin up a new CentOS VM and do a clean install of
the full PF distribution.

Given the negative experiences that experienced PF users are having
with the ZEN build, I am left to wonder if the package shouldn't be
discontinued...both to save labor and avoid turning off new users???
