For some network device models (those where the hardware has an EEPROM and we're modelling "guest programmed a new MAC address into the EEPROM") that is the correct behaviour. Is the vmxnet3 definitely one of the kind which is not supposed to have a permanent MAC address backing storage ? (It's paravirtual, so this would hopefully be indicated in the specs for it.) thanks -- PMM
