[ale] eth numbering change

[Beddingfield, Allen]

You've probably got a line in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules assigning some mac address to eth0

Subject: [ale] eth numbering change

Hello,

This one has bugged me for a while.

I understand that the numbering of network interfaces can change when adding a network card. What I can't figure out is why it's inconsistent. I have two identical servers, same mobo, same NICs in slot 1, same firmware, etc. I add a NIC in slot 2 on both severs and reboot. Why does one show the new NIC as eth0 and the other shows the new NIC as eth1?

Google only turns up how to set persistence.
