6 Because you no longer have eth0 and eth1 which may be one or the other NIC

8 NICs.

10 Look at my example rules again: Each interface is identified by its MAC address
11 and given a unique name. Since the MAC addresses never change, the names will
12 also stay the same, regardless of module loading order or interface discovery
13 order.
