Another possibility is to use 'nameif' and your own names
for
network interfaces instead of eth0 and eth1. See 'man nameif'
for details. The catch is that you cannot rename interfaces
after they were brought up, so you have drop in your own startup
script which runs early enough (it would be nice if a support for
that was already present) and I have no idea how various 'sysconfig'
tools will react on "strange" names. But you have an editor.
Actually, if you do:
alias frobozz e100
and have:
DEVICE=frobozz
in the ifcfg file, the standard scripts will rename it to whatever
you like.
