I don't know if this going to do it. For example, I am using vmware which I
would have to reconfigure because it is trying to use the eth0 device. Also,
the network itself stays the same and my IP as well. So I would have to have
2 devices with the same IP. And I cannot turn eth0 down because of vmware
...
