Hi Paul,
Do you have the following file on your system:
/etc/init.d/net.eth3 ?
If not, do the following:
# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s net.lo net.eth3
That should create the "net.eth3" script for you.
Alternatively, edit the following file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
This file contains the udev-rules to have each net-device use the same ethX
every time.
