If you are using the network service and DHCP, ifcfg-eth0 should

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes

IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
USERCTL=no
You don't need all of this - you could get by with:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
I really suggest using the MAC field, it prevents learning about
Plauger's Law (law of least astonishment) the hard way... Of course the
O.P. was using the MAC field (I suspect) and didn't know it.
You should also be able to create it using system-config-network.
Indeed. And I believe that should be part of the default install again.

With /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, you are probably not
going to run into it if you do not use HWADDR in ifcfg-eth? On the
other hand, I do tend to use something like the first example I gave
- you don't need to, but it can prevent surprises.
There are valid arguments both ways, as long as you have only one NIC. After
that you really want to have them called by the same names. ;-)
