(please PLEASE trim quoted articles to just what you're commenting on,
like I have above).
I've /never/ seen RHEL/CentOS or any of its predecessors renumber
ethernet ports on a working system.. I've seen it number them
backwards, such that eth0 was the port labeled '1' outside the chassis
and eth1 was port '0', but it was extremely consistent about this (one
specific case of this I remember is RHEL2.1 or 3 on a Intel SE7501WV2
dual xeon board). I've had a pile of different RH linux configurations
running on various servers for 10 or more years.
