The problem (you don't mention if you figured it out or not) is that the
MAC address will be wrong--one sees the same thing when cloning a VMware
machine. (Or VirtualBox for that matter.)
If you go into /etc/udev/rules.d and look for the network file (probably
70-persistent-net.rules) you'll see that it will have a line for eth0
(or whatever card) with the original machine's MAC address. It will
hopefully also have a new one with eth1. In VMware clones, I just
delete the eth0 line, change eth1 at the end of the line to eth0, and
edit the /etc/sysoconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to bring the
hardware address in line with udev. (However, I've never had to do it
on more than 2 or 3 at a time, doing it on 300 plus seems like a lot).

maybe some ants. Could be fun.

Riley: Oh... so, was that a conversation I actually had or one I
was just practicing?
