- kudzu used eth1 and eth2 instead of eth0 and eth1 for the

on reboot it seems to remove eth0 and add eth2. Also, it insists that
airo has to be eth0, and e100 eth1, while in FC2 it insisted the
opposite. I've been deleting modprobe.conf, hwconfig,
sysconfig/networking/devices/*, sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*,
sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/* and rebooting over
and over trying to get a correct config to be autodetected and
"stick", no luck yet
BTW, when using NetworkManager for desktops, do we really need network-
scripts and sysconfig/networking at all?
It feels to me like many problems I've had with networking have come
down to the fact that the configuration is in multiple places:
modprobe.conf, hwconf, network-scripts, sysconfig/networking;
it doesn't seem that well-defined how it all works... maybe I'm just
dense though.
One policy we might try to get closer to: clearly split autogenerated
information from manually-edited information, and machine-readable
information from human-only information such as scripts.
