NIC configuration problem

NIC configuration problem

[E2Erdem]

Hi,

I want to use static IP for my network card. But I can't. On every
reboot my UDEV sets another name (eth1 to eth10) for my NIC and uses
DHCP. 

I configured my interface file properly:
## /etc/network/interfaces

--
allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.0.0.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.0.0.0
        broadcast 10.0.0.
--

##

But it seems UDEV doesn't look there. When I try to restart network
manualy I get this error: 
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

My OS is Debian GNU/Linux with AMD64 kernel. My UDEV version is
0.105-4. 

## /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules

# PCI device 0x10de:0x03ef (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM="net", DRIVERS="?*", ATTRS{address}="00:00:6c:59:8e:df",
NAME="eth1"

# PCI device 0x10de:0x03ef (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM="net", DRIVERS="?*", ATTRS{address}="00:00:6c:29:a0:90",
NAME="eth2"

# PCI device 0x10de:0x03ef (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM="net", DRIVERS="?*", ATTRS{address}="00:00:6c:0e:3e:48",

# PCI device 0x10de:0x03ef (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM="net", DRIVERS="?*", ATTRS{address}="00:00:6c:4e:ce:50",
NAME="eth4"

# PCI device 0x10de:0x03ef (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM="net", DRIVERS="?*", ATTRS{address}="00:00:6c:14:b8:98",
NAME="eth5"

# PCI device 0x10de:0x03ef (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM="net", DRIVERS="?*", ATTRS{address}="00:00:6c:dd:87:46",
NAME="eth6"

# PCI device 0x10de:0x03ef (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM="net", DRIVERS="?*", ATTRS{address}="00:00:6c:00:51:bc",
NAME="eth7"

# PCI device 0x10de:0x03ef (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM="net", DRIVERS="?*", ATTRS{address}="00:00:6c:e6:bb:ee",
NAME="eth8"

The forcedeth driver and/or hardware is broken and uses a random MAC
address at each boot. You cannot use MAC-based persistent interface
names. Workaround:
rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/*_persistent-net*.rules

Thank you. 

Removing this files solved my problem. I hope this solution doesn't
create another problem.
