I've seen that behaviour when MAC address "changes".

The change can be triggered by the user (by replacing or adding a card) 
or by a bug in the network driver (I remember that some years ago nvidia 
nforce network module "forcedeth" was hit by a bug that continuosly 
renamed the ethernet device -eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3...- on each reboot).
