Or depending on your requirements just drop hwaddr from ifcfg so it applies
to the detected adaptor regardless of MAC

The MAC address shown in the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ethX files is just
the address of what was detected at the time of installation.  This is done
to make sure the configuration is applied to the correct NIC.  It does not
auto-generate every time you reboot the system.

You will need to manually change that to the MAC address displayed by
ifconfig, and add that to the list of things you need to update after
cloning a system.
