How can I completly remove all remnants of an old eth1
Everytime I go to add a new nic it wants to call it eth1
I will be replacing the old nic with ano identical chipped card,
which it wants to call eth1
I would prefer eth0
F17 using system-config-network
I have through s-c-n removed all hardware nic,
also removeed ~/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
Keeps coming back
Where else do I look
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules this is the only
place which matters for manual NIC-naming and ifcfg_eth*
scripts should NOT contain MAC-addresses to leave the
udev-rule the only point to assign
you need to reboot or restat udev
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
