Very strange and as you suggested delete the ifcfg-eth0 file and recreate, specify your settings. I suspect your wireless device and or systemboard is faulty. Is there a BIOS hardware self-test you could perform to check the integrity of your hardware?

Hi,
I've done my fair share of CentOS 7 installations, but this is the first time I have this kind of weird problem. Here goes.
In my office I have a battered Dell Optiplex 320 PC with two NICs that I'm using as a bare metal sandbox server for testing purposes.
The CentOS 7 installer sees the connected network card as eth0. But after the first reboot, the interface comes up as eth1.
My first reflex was to rename ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1 and edit it accordingly. Weirdly enough, on the subsequent reboot the interface comes back as eth0.
I took a peek in /etc/udev/rules.d to see if there was any persistent interface definition, but the directory is empty.
On a side note, I installed Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS on that same machine and got the exact same problem. Debian installer sees the main network interface as eth0, but on the first reboot the interface comes back as eth1.
Any suggestions ?
Niki
