[CentOS] MAC address changes after cloning

Hi,

I have x86 system and have used clonezilla to clone the entire hardisk of 
system A and restored it on another x86 system, system B.
After the cloning process, i notice that the MAC address of the system B 
in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is changed and
is having the MAC address of system A.

The interesting part is that if i do an ifconfig from the bash prompt, the 
MAC address of the system B is correctly displayed, but 
in ifcfg-eth0 script it is different. I had disabled kudzu, since i was 
always getting eth1 activated on System B, 
even though i had used eth0 on system A. eth0.bak was getting created 
instead on system B. Disabling kudzu resolved it.
 
My question is that how could i get the same MAC address for system B from 
ifconfig and in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Is there any script to do it ?
