I tried this, with and without removing the 70-persistent-net.rules,
but still my test host comes up with eth_s2_0 and eth_s2_1, so the
kernel must tell udev those names.

But in /var/log/boot.msg I find this (quoting only about eth0 here):

<6>e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
...
<6>eth0 renamed to eth_s2_0 by udevd [274]
<6>udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth_s2_0

So udev must have some other rule telling it to rename those devices.
After I have removed 70-persistent-net.rules (and it is not re-created
when rebooting) I don't know where this could come from :-(
Do you have any idea?

cu,
Frank
