When my machine installs (CentOS 6.3) the two network cards are getting reversed. The PCI card is getting eth0 and the motherboard is getting eth1. I would like them in reverse order to keep things the same as they used to be.

How can I easily tell these two to reverse?

Generate the 70-persistent-net-rules with motherboard eth0 first then the PCI slot?

Thanks,

In that, I edit the 70-persistent-net-rules file, but now I just remove it. In short;

1. Stop networking 2. move HWADDR value between ifcfg-ethX files. 3. Delete 70-persistent-net-rules 4. Run; 'start_udev' 5. Start networking.
