Same here with an integrated RealTek 8169 and a wireless NetGear MA311.
I had to edit /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and /etc/modprobe.conf to make eth0
eth1 and vice-versa. I had to delete a second instance (eth2) from
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf for my wireless card. I did this in single mode
and now kudzu does not complain any more.
