Also worth looking at the persistent rules for net devices udev. E.g. in debian, they are in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules Cleaning up the rules may help to keep the name of the eth interface to eth0 or eth1. I presume vmware is showing a device with a different MAC for each vm, so each time the image is run in a new vm a new rule is added with a new interface name.
