Hi, 

I am creating a guest with following description for interfaces in the xml using virsh create xml command. For some reason, the guest interface names in the VM dont match the names specified in the xml. Is there a way to make guest interface names predictable?

Following is the qemu version on host

dpkg --list | grep -i qemu
ii  qemu-kvm                              1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.10                amd64        QEMU Full virtualization on x86 hardware

    <interface type='user'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:17:0b:e7'/>
      <guest dev='eth0'/>
      <model type='e1000'/>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>
    <interface type='ethernet'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:ee:70:34'/>
      <target dev='net0'/>
      <guest dev='Ethernet0'/>
      <model type='rtl8139'/>
      <alias name='net1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

Thanks
