23 AFAIK, you have three possibilities.
24
25 1) If you're renaming a NIC via its MAC address, you have to edit the
26 config file thatlinks the NIC's names and its MAC address.
27
28 2) If you're using udev's predictable names, the NIC'll have the same
29 (more or less complex) name if you use the same slot.
30
31 3) If you're using the kernel names, you have no guarantee that ethX
32 will be assigned to the same NIC at every bot.
