So in that case, you still have to run system-config-network at 
firstboot (or equivalent)?    That seems reasonable -- you may be 
handing something to someone with a static IP setup, you don't know.    
Rethinking it, if you clear things out in %post and also feed it network 
details in the libvirt XML, maybe that's good enough...

Still, I'm not sure of a way to do that fully automatically and get them 
all unique MACs without being rather clever...
