CentOS 6.4 eth0 renamed p4p2

[keith smith]

Thanks!!  That is too funny!!

I was expecting "/etc/init.d/network start" to start eth0.  No such luck. I issued "ifup eth0" and the message says it was starting p4p2.  Now I can ping out side the box.

I'm not sure how much selinux effects this, however it was enabled so I disabled it.  

Thank you for your help!!

Keith,
It's the CentOS, not your hardware. The p4p2 is your new eth0 - it is
bus identified so those with multiple NIC don't face musical chairs
with which NIC gets to eth0 first. It is a feature - sorry.  see:
