More important. Somebody has killed my eth0. It's gone. "Device

This hasn't happened to me, my card is still named eth0 on F17 - beta.
However, I've read on this list that for consistency, network cards are
now named by some combination of hardware and interrupt. e.g. emp1
Maybe someone else will clarify, or you can do a search.
Well, perhaps someone should also think about impact of name-changing.
Quite frankly, what's in a name, so why change it?
From my side, I have a "no longer supported" SW product that licenses
itself against the MAC address of ETH0. Yep, ETH0 and not any other name.
For the moment I am sorting this out in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, but when is some clever
person going to take that away?
I have to confess that I am not a "hard core" linux user (albeit daily
having used SUN i386, SCO then Linux since circa 1990-odd) but I am
severely disappointed at the amount of config stuff that is getting
hidden by GUI cr*p.
Why not have a branch called Winux, then leave Linux as it was intended:
ie: NOT to be a Windows OS.
(OK, it's not Linux, but all the desktop managers out there, is it not?)
My rant.
