I am preparing Virtual Images with OpenSolaris 200906 and even when I put reconfigure tag after move between VMware and Vbox I see nwam to make e1000g0, e1000g1, e1000g2 ...

Is any way how to clean OS installation before distribution so new interface will be still e1000g0 (only one net interface exist)

I know then new Linux distros remember MAC addresses, do we do in OpenSolaris some similar bindings ?

The networking subsystem has no control over this, and it's not
related to MAC addresses.

Instead, this is an issue with the way device enumeration and the
'devfs' subsystem operates.  (For what it's worth, the same thing will
happen with disk drives and other physical device drivers.)

I suspect that the answer is to clean out /etc/path_to_inst and
also /etc/dladm/datalink.conf. But I don't know if there is a
supported interface to do that, meaining if you went and did
something that relied on those files, we could change their
use or contents without warning.
