VMWare clone: Network issue (SIOCSIFADDR)
Setting up all my Debian VMs, I tried to clone one and ran into issues with networking. My eth0 was not configured and when I tried to bring it back up, I got following error: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device SIOCSIFBRADDR: No such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device Failed to bring up eth0.
Apparantly the MAC address from the old vm was being copied over to the new vm. To fix this, you have to remove the file /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules (I moved it just in case I needed to set it back).
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/ mv z25_persistent-net.rules z25_persistent-net.rules.old
After this, you reboot your VM and behold... there is your network!
