BIOS lists one device.
Motherboard does not have an interface card.
No fiber optic.
No BNC connector.
I commented out the "ghost" MAC address from udev's rules file and rebooted. It has not reappeared. However, the problem I have is that the ethernet ports don't stick in the same order. They came up in a completely different order. I now have eth0, 1, and 4. What was eth0 prior to the reboot is now ... uh ... 'rename4' according to the udev messages:
udev: renamed network interface eth0 to rename2 (this is the Intel Pro 100 add-in card [e100 module]) udev: renamed network interface eth1 to eth0 (this is the SMC1255TX add-in card [tulip module]) udev: renamed network interface rename2 to eth1 udev: renamed network interface eth2 to rename4 (this is the motherboard ethernet port [VIA Rhine module])
What gives?? How can I tell it to either stop mucking with them, or to do it in the order I want it to: on-board: eth0 Intel: eth1 SMC: eth2

But it is. The MAC address on the motherboard port is NOT the same as
the
mystery device. And it DOES match one of the entries in udev's rules,
and
it's operational right now as eth0 (as it should be.) However, the
mystery
MAC address that's listed in udev's rules matches nothing in either lshw
or
lspci.
Remember, udev's rules lists FOUR devices. There are only THREE.
What does the BIOS say about ethernet devices?
Does the motherboard have a management interface card with its own ethernet port, perhaps potential but not actually installed?
Is there a fiber-optics connector on the system which is coming up as an ethernet port?
Is one of the cards old enough to still have a separate BNC connector?

Yeah, rpmforge or repoforge. But, I'm looking for what exactly? It
only
lists a single ethernet port (the built-in one).
That's what you're looking for. Now you know that the mysterious device isn't something that you didn't know aobout on the motherboard.
