VMWare and Ubuntu images lack networking

A very quick note to save a heap of trouble. If you (like me) have downloaded an Ubuntu or Debian VMWare image and have found you have no networking, and instead have an error mentioning:

"SIOCSIFADDR: No such device"

Fear not, simply delete the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (Ubuntu) or /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules (Debian). This will not cause an immediate effect - once you've removed the file simply reboot and it will return - complete with corrected MAC addresses.
