With the latest incarnation of udev, eth0 may not longer be used. To find out the new name of your NIC, check in /sys/class/net. It mght also be obtained from the output of either /bin/ip link show or /sbin/ipmaddr. Once you have the new name:
- Rename /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to /etc/init.d/net.$NEW_INTERFACE_NAME.
- Remove /etc/runlevels/net.eth0 and create a symlink in /etc/runlevels pointing to /etc/init.d/net.$NEW_INTERFACE_NAME.
