Apparently the root of the problem is udev's handling of devices. Udev keeps a history of devices attached to the computer. What makes sense for e.g. USB sticks (that is, each USB stick you attach will be recorded and mounted to the same point when attached again at a later point in time), causes problems with network devices when systems are cloned.
There is a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ - something like /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules, where udev records which hardware device should get named eth0. It looks something like this:
# PCI device 14xx:16xx (tg3)
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", SYSFS{address}=="00:11:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="eth0"
The file may not be called z25_persistent-net.rules, but the command:
sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/*persistent-rules.net
will get rid of it for you!
