the appliance is packaged with the dev/rules.d cleared. if you deploy it, the first time it boots, it will regenerate these 70-* files in that directory.

also, the installed VMware tools are compatible with the running kernel so you shouldn't need to reinstall them.

removing the nic from the appliance however makes sense although it's the most annoying solution too because that means that workstation 9 creates incompatible OVF files. there were problems with the cdrom in earlier release for exactly this issue. seems the network adapter has the same issue.

i posted a message on the WS9 community but it doesn't seem to have priority with somebody overthere. i need to do some further testing but as i said, i have limited facilities to check different environments. any help like DennisBray's tests are appreciated. at least there's a valid workaround although a lot of ppl don't go through the trouble. which is a shame ofcourse since deploying hosts with EDA only takes the typing of one name and a few minute wait Smiley Happy

on a sidenote; if you add a new network adapter you need to remove the files from udev/rules.d. if you don't, it will make the new adapter eth1 and the configuration scripts will fail.
