My guess is the new interface is called eth1, since it has a different |
| 21 |
MAC address than the old eth0 (and linux doesn't know that you are |
| 22 |
replacing it rather than supplementing it). Try editing or completely |
| 23 |
deleting /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (it will be |
| 24 |
re-created automatically after you reboot if you delete it). That's |
| 25 |
where udev decides which network device gets which name. |
