After the imaging eth0 is renamed eth0.bak and the active interface is
eth1, but using dhcp.
What I do is delete eth0.bak using the graphical network tool and make
eth1 use a fix IP again,
restart the network service, and reboot.
After rebooting, if I want the identifier eth0 back, I move
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
and edit ifcfg-eth0 to change
DEVICE=eth1 for DEVICE=eth0
and then reboot again. If I do anything different, I end up with eth2,
eth3, etc ...
and it is really messy.
In addition to these steps, I recently got in an condition where I had
to manually clean the
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
file, which appeared very confused by the fact that my harddisk had been
moved across three different machines.
Best regards.
