Probably udev renamed the interfaces trying to maintain persistent
interface names. Run "ifconfig -a" or "ip link list" to see the existing
interface names.

So probably udev gave the name "eth0" to that particular 3com905 NIC,
and the others are named eth1, eth2 and so on. The upside is when you
install the same card the second time it will get the same name as
before.
