(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.
