They may have replaced the whole motherboard. In any case, the file you
want is probably:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

When you install, the mac address gets recorded there so it can
always get the same name, unfortunately, when you swap NIC
interfaces, that means the new one will never be named eth0
till you fiddle with this file to make sure the mac address
it is looking for matches.
