Thanks, but no - it makes no difference.

I tried:

1. Adding that file and keeping 70-persistent-net.rules as well

2. Adding that file and removing 70-persistent-net.rules

3. Both the above both with and without net.ifnames=0 in the kernel boot
parameters.

In every case I continue to get eth0 and eth1 as my PCI card, and the
motherboard interface as eth2.


Anyone else got any useful ideas?
