I upgraded from Fedora 10 to Fedora 12. Unfortunately, my ethernet interface eth0 is now named eth0_rename. I'd like to get back to having it named plain old eth0.

I googled a bit but the solution of removing the eth0 entry from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules seems to have no effect (I restarted the network service but didn't reboot).

The interface works just fine although I could see a script or two having a problem with the format. So, it's more of an inconvenience thing than anything else.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
