Remove the file /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules . It
associates the mac of the network cards of the original computer to eth0
& eth1, in the cloned computer you do not have those macs, that's why it
has created eth2 & eth3. Removing that file it will put things ok after
a reboot.

That's a very common issue when cloning, since etch.

Yes, but the solution is easy: remove
the /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules before creating the image
in the original computer.
