bhyve debian VM changes its NIC name from eth0 to eth1 after updating to 11.1

[NetSoerfer]

After upgrading from FreeNAS 11.0-U4 to 11.1 today, I had trouble accessing the one VM I have on my server. After some fiddling with VNC (and a lot of wrestling with keyboard map issues) I realised that my static IP config didn't work anymore: the configuration for eth0 wasn't applied anymore because the NIC was named eth1 all of a sudden.

I have no idea why, but changing the config to refer to eth1 was all it took to work as before. Is this a known issue?

Might have been a fluke. If it happens again after another upgrade, create a report at bugs.freenas.org and post the issue number here.
