Network device eth0 does not exist?

[littleidea]

I'm running virtualbox 3.1.8 on OS X 10.5.8 (MBP 2GHz Intel Core Duo).

I don't get this behavior on VMs I create myself, but if I try to use VMs from other people, they come up without any network.

I'm just trying to use NAT, and it doesn't seem to matter what the adapter is.

For some reason the running instance has no eth0 device, but there is an eth1, which I can coax up. (If I build VMs they start up with a eth0 connected.)

Any ideas why this is happening? or what I can do to fix it?

Let me know if there is any other information that would be useful for troubleshooting.

When you install others VMs the change in the MAC address forces a Linux feature which sets up the new eth1 instead of eth0
edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or you can delete the rules and Linux will configure it on the next boot
On Solaris you would need to setup the network again.
