Your new network interface is probably eth1, and eth0 is being reserved for the old card, if it comes back. Udev rules are automatically created and stored; have a look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules for the old ones. If you are never going to re-introduce the old card, you can delete the old rule ... probably there's a rule for the new card to be eth1 in there by now. If you remove that as well, on a reboot the new card will stay as eth0. Also, there's no reason it should be called 'eth0' or 'eth1' ... you could call it anything, using those rules. -jim
