Hi Folks,

When I deploy a new machine from an image in VMware, I select the VMXNET3 adapter, however, when it's done cloning the image to a guest, the NIC is set to E1000. I've indented the logging line from the production log below, somewhat anonimized:

reproduction

- I've created a new compute profile, setting the network adapter to VMXNET3,
- Created a new host using the SLES10SP4 image;
- The machine is properly cloned in VMware;
- The machine is powered on;
- Our new guest starts up, without an eth0 interface,
- Looking at the settings of the guest leads to the conclusion that the E1000 adapter has been assigned instead of the VMXNET3 adapter.
