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.

He wasn't there again today -- I think he's from the CIA.
