Known issue on OVF – Linux Network Interfaces doesn’t seem to come up
ifconfig -a won’t show eth0, instead show as eth3 or above for example
How to Repopulate Network Adapter if they got mapped as eth3 and eth4 instead of eth0
Empty 70-persistent-net.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[root@Careexchange.in~]# echo > /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [root@Careexchange.in ~]# reboot
Then Reboot. it should re populate ethernet Nics
Works great but in my .mf-file the vmdk was listed first and the ovf second. So be carefull to change the correct line.
