If you create a virtual machine based on CentOS 5 and then add a
VNIC to the virtual machine, that VNIC is duplicated when you
reboot the virtual machine. For example, if you add one VNIC,
duplicate settings are displayed for the eth0
and eth1
interfaces.
The duplicate VNIC is caused by an issue with the CentOS 5 kernel that loads two drivers for the same network interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
