[9.200][BUG] Add Nic VMwawe scrambles Nic order with Intel i350

Mark_D_01
Hi All
I just tried to add an extra NIC interface to my VMware UTM. When I do this the NIC Interface MAC order gets scrambled.
When I look at at eth0 the MAC address changes (very frustrating).
Hope the pics tell the tale

If you look at the pics the pic labels are:-
Nic Mac Address Normal
eth0 norm vmware
vmVirtgroup
vm NICs
add i350 nic
new eth0 mac address
udev 70-persitent rules
udev 71 rules

In the below pics show normal operation.
Nic Mac Address Normal
eth0 norm vmware
vmVirtgroup
vm NICs

When I add an extra virtual Nic the below pics show the results.
add i350 nic
new eth0 mac address
udev 70-persitent rules
udev 71 rules

    This is sort of normal behavior for UTM on VMware (has been an "issue" since V9, maybe since V8); you can "hardwire" the MAC to Ethernet interface mappings by disabling the automatic VMware NIC script in /etc/udev/udev.rule and by editing the network rules file in that directory... I have done that before.  Bear in mind you can render your UTM dead in the water if you mess up a setting in there, but if you are confident in your abilities, that will work.
