Bug#414287: eth0 to eth0_rename_ren

[Nigel Horne <njh@bandsman.co.uk>]

I just had to change my motherboard and when I did I lost eth0 and it 
was called eth0_rename with no networking. I manually changed everything 
in /etc/network/interfaces from eth0 to eth0_rename along with 
firewall/routing/blah blah settings.

This morning I booted up and guess what? The same problem, only this 
time I had to change eth0_rename to eth0_rename_ren in all my files and 
settings. What gives? Why doesn't Linux just call it eth0, it's not 
rocket science!

This is on Debian 5.0.
