Check your /etc/udev/rules.d/ for a file matching *persistent* and containing lines sort of like so: # PCI device 0x10de:0x0057 (forcedeth) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:e0:81:55:8f:66", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3" ...I only have 2 NICs in this box, but because I moved motherboards a couple of times without reinstalling anything, the onboard NIC here is now known as eth3. Changing it back to eth1 would be relatively easy. -- Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today -- I think he's from the CIA.
