Yes it will, but with the correct information. the problem is that the |
| 8 |
old file had allocated eth0 and eth1 to MAC addresses not present in that |
| 9 |
machine. It will be recreated with correct MAC addresses for eth0 and |
| 10 |
eth1, so that the two cards will always be named the same way on each |
| 11 |
boot. |

I can see the reason for doing this, if you have two network cards it |
| 14 |
means they never get swapped over, without having to mess around with |
| 15 |
module loading order (which is an unreliable hack anyway). |
