Yes it did. It happened in the 1900's. We were all advised never to use
the same type of network card for both interfaces, because which card
became eth0 would be indeterminate. I had eth0 magically switch to
eth1, and then back again, several times.

Earlier in this thread I submitted a shellscript that fixes this whole
problem, without all sorts of udev raindances.
