Create a CentOS Vagrant box with dynamic ethernet MAC address

When preparing a CentOS box, you have to be careful about /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-generator.rules and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, because it uses the MAC address of the interface to configure itself.

The way I found to overcome this, is by editing both files and removing some config lines.

Below are the modifications:

##/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-generator.rules

Remove the line where NAME="eth0" and insert the line below:

KERNEL=="eth0", NAME="eth0"

##/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Remove the lines where the parameters HWADDR and UIID appears.

Pack the box and game on.
