[ale] eth numbering change

[Jim Kinney]

I had to create fake ethX devices once so MATLAB could actually keep
it's license keys intact. A similar process works to create  ethX alias
to the real devices.
Hmm. That one oddball machine is going to bite me later as I don't
recall which one it was. Oops. Search for a CentOS box with Matlab and
a ethX nic name.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
