Hi,

I'm just updating this thread to post useful information.

I was unable to use ifrename to do the trick ...

I have upgraded the server to slackware 12, since the disk mirroring was 
incomplete when slackware 12 was released, so I decided to rebuild the 
raid array and install slackware 12 on it :)

Tuning the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/75-network-devices.rules" as needed 
seems to solve the problem.
I encourage everyone who uses slackware as you system to upgrade to v12 :)

Although I think samba 3.0.25b needs some "monitoring", got some strange 
behavior from this version, downgrading brought everything back in place.

Thanks for all your help,

Mauricio
