You (your linuxdistro) told it to do so. Once those distributions detect
a net yet known mac on a network-interface they assign a net eth-interface
to it.
If you get a different mac on every systemboot your eth-interface keeps
changing.

You can do two things about it:
- delete that persistance-information on early systemstart or on shutdown,
on suse sles10 its in /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules, on
debian sid in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
- or configure your domU-networkinterface to use always the same mac
