[nflug] eth0 on debian configured sd card

[Robert Wolfe]

You will most likely need to delete the file 
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules and reboot for each machine 
you use this card on.  I had this same problem when moving Debian VMs 
from from VM server to another and this resolved the issue.  The same 
thing works when moving a hard drive with Debian installed from from 
physical machine to another.
