Attaching "ubuntu-bug udev" from a vmware virtual machine.
I'm not sure if the virtual nics appear to the OS as any different from the actual hardware they are emulating, but I do know all virtual NICs inside vmware vms have MAC addresses starting with 00:0c:29 or 00:50:56.
I think everyone who uses Debian or Ubuntu inside a vmware vm experiences this issue when cloning vms or when the MAC address changes for another reason. udev remembers the old mac address and assigns a new interface name, breaking the network configuration of the machine.
