(so it seems that this problem was caused by replacing coldplug with udev)
In fact, you may have a firewire connection, and that is being recognized as eth0, try adding "nofirewire" to your kernel boot line, and check if eth0 will be your network card again. Also, there was a similar problem on the list a few days ago and the OP of that thread asked for UDEV rules to set names to its interfaces, check the archives. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
