In that thread you indicated that you had previously used orinoco,

So somewhere that association has stuck. Perhaps you are using an
HWADDR line in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1?
It could also be the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file.
This bit me recently when I couldn't tell for the life of me why
interfaces constantly showed up as eth1 or eth2 instead of eth0 no
matter how hard I tried. Editing the ifcfg-ethX files didn't matter
since udev was whacking it first.
Nuke 70-persistent-net.rules (it will be recreated so don't lose any
sleep) and you may be in business.
