I have read previously that you can't use "eth*" as the device name. As an
experiment, you could try using a device name other than "eth0" and see if
that works.

Thanks. I used your script to create my rules file:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# Added by 'write_udev' for detected device 'eth0'.
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="02:56:02:01:f3:b9", NAME="eth0"
And that looked good (right madaddr and device name). So built my
ifcfg-eth0:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO=none
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
NAME="System eth0"
MACADDR=02:67:15:00:01:78
MTU=1500
DNS1=208.83.67.188
GATEWAY="208.83.67.177"
IPADDR="208.83.67.178"
NETMASK="255.255.255.240"
HOSTNAME="miredo.htt-consult.com"
IPV6INIT="yes"
DNS2=2607:f4b8:3:3:9254:5400:0:188
Something is missing as after the change I restarted network.services and
got IPv6 RA errors. So I rebooted and now no eth0 listed with ifconfig (or
ip addr show). So something is lacking. Almost like udev is not running
at boot? How do I check this out?
