Yes, they are different, but mostly in the way the device names are
managed. Both essentially randomize the order of detection and the
numbers each device gets, but in 5.x having the right HWADDR= and mac
address in the ifcfg-eth? file was sufficient to rename the device to
match the DEVICE= in the file. In 6.x the names are set according to
the rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (which will be
recreated at reboot, possibly in a different order if you delete it
after a change). The /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-xxx
files have to match the DEVICE= and HWADDR= entries to work. There
is also some special handling for netbios names in a weak attempt at
consistency that only works on certain Dell servers.
