How can I completly remove all remnants of an old eth1 Everytime I go to add a new nic it wants to call it eth1
I will be replacing the old nic with ano identical chipped card, which it wants to call eth1
I would prefer eth0
F17 using system-config-network I have through s-c-n removed all hardware nic, also removeed ~/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* Keeps coming back
Where else do I look
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules this is the only place which matters for manual NIC-naming and ifcfg_eth* scripts should NOT contain MAC-addresses to leave the udev-rule the only point to assign
you need to reboot or restat udev
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules # PCI device 0x8086:0x1502 (e1000e) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="3c:d9:2c:65:95:9f", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

On my system, log in var log messages shows /var/log/messages-20120930:Sep 26 08:43:22 localhost kernel: [ 5.935732] eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd800, IRQ 19, 00:03:0d:15:2b:9e /var/log/messages-20121007:Oct 4 18:18:39 localhost system-config-network[27851]: rm //etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0
But in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules I have SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:03:0d:13:0b:0e", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
So, ifconfig returns no info about eth0, or any eth# device.
