<div>When cloning or creating a new vm, the network interfaces in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is getting changed - rendering the new new VM un-networkable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The original file looks like this:</div>

<div>The 'correct' interfaces are still there, but out of sequence and there are two additional interfaces that do not belong there.</div>
