Streaming w/ Citrix Provisioning Services to VM's in an ESX 4 platform

When i build a vDisk from a Master Target Device that was built from a VM hosted on ESX 4 update1 using the vmxNet3 drivers i cant stream the disk to any new Target Devices or VM's that i create. I can indeed do this with no issue using the e1000 drivers but i would like to leverage the vmxNet3 if possible. After closer inspection i can see that every time i spin up a new VM in ESX with the vmxNet3 driver that VM creates a new PCI device ID for every NIC based on the MAC and inserts the MAC in the ID, so i guess i am trying to figure out WHY? The other NICs do not behave this way, any insight would be helpful.

The end result is a bluescreen on my Target at startup specifically a stop 7b error. Anyone at VMware have any idea?
