vmx bug?

[Rodney W. Grimes]

This is a long standing issue with VMware ESXi, it effects
Linux as well as FreeBSD and Windows.   A couple of googles
for things like 
  https://www.google.com/search?q=esxi+guest+ethernet++order&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Well lead you to several articles talking about this issue.
I did not find any solutions however.
