Did you do anything that might have changed a MAC address? Like changing
PC card Ethernet adapters, for example? Or replacing a motherboard that
has a built-in Ethernet adapter? The correspondence between
MAC addresses and interface names is controlled by
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. You may need to edit this file
and change MAC addresses.
