5.3.11 Updating the NIC configuration file in a Linux and
VMware environment
In order to prevent errors caused by changing network device names (eth<x>),
it is recommended to store the MAC address (hardware address) of a network
interface card in the related NIC configuration file of the Linux/VMware OS.
When replacing a network controller or the system board with onboard LAN
controllers in a server running Linux/VMware OS, the MAC address will change
but not automatically be updated in the definition file.
