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.
