Greetings,

Based on a quick review of the code, there is no way to force CloudStack to
assign MAC addresses in the range which VMware considers valid/expected.

If you wanted to suppress the warning for specific VMs, you could try
adding a line to the VMX files:

ethernet0.checkMACAddress =3D "false"

The procedure is described here: http://www.networknet.nl/apps/wp/archives/=
787

If that works for you, please let us know and we could file an
improvement to have it automatically included for new VMware VMs.

 - Chris
