Yes but if your changing the mac and the device then its not static, its
changing. I need eth0 to always be on the same port (port0) (vlan taggging,
security reasons etc) so when I update/install and port0 is now being
detected as eth1, my network is screwed. I need a way to say port0 == eth0
no matter what order they are detected in.
HWADDR does not set the MAC address. If it is present then ifup-eth
will rename the interface to what ever you designate if the MAC address
for the interfaces matches HWADDR. AFAIK, this has been true since
about RH9
ifrename does it, but it requires stopping a bunch of stuff, running it and
then restarting a bunch of stuff. Adding the command into the
/etc/rc.sysinit file doesn't work (the interfaces appear to be already
initialized).
Adding the MACADDR option is supposed to set the mac from what I can tell,
but that isnt the case on rhel 5 on my e1000 nic.

I have a similar problem on the Dell 2950. I add the HWADDR and change
the DEVICE in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:13:72:65:DB:29
IPADDR=10.207.52.220
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
