No, there is only one NIC in my system.

Yes, I think that explains well. This is the system that I been kept
upgrading for years. The card changed from eth0 to eth1 during one system
upgrade (and stays that way) -- maybe during hal to udev upgrading.

Thanks to Celejar & Stephen's help. I get it corrected without rebooting.
Here is my detailed steps:
$ dmesg | grep 'ethernet driver'
[1795967.314420] forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver...
rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
ifdown eth1
modprobe -r forcedeth
modprobe forcedeth
$ dir /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 424 2010-01-28 18:45 /etc/udev/rules.d/70-
persistent-net.rules
ifup eth0
AOK!
