There are actually three Ethernet ports (eth0, eth1, and eth2). We use this method to kickstart many servers with the same configuration. The HWADDR is removed from the ifcfg-ethx files. Udev will process the files in the rules.d directory in order. The closest link I have found is http://sicherheitsschwankung.de/post/jan/2005-10-13/renaming-network-devices-udev. Also, I should point out we are using CentOS 5.5.

That looks like what I need, but I don't understand it. Is there any
documentation for how that stuff works, or can you elaborate? And if
you do that, can you remove the HWADDR entries from the ifcfg-eth?
files and have them stick to the right devices?
