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.
