10 Delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

12 This associated network interfaces with MAC addresses, so the cards come
13 up the same way each time. your problem is caused by the file on the new

15 creates two more. A similar thing happens if you replace a network card.
16 Delete the file and it starts again at zero.
