[Bug 562742] Re: r8169 ethernet MAC address changes in 2.6.32 kernel

[Irihapeti]

After behaving well for a couple of days or so, the mainline kernel has
been throwing errors on this over the last several hours, particularly
not activating the ethernet chip at all (lights on switch blink slowly).
I had noticed that my working ethernet connection was labelled "eth1"
instead of "eth0". I altered that in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-
net.rules, removed dhcp3 leases and rebooted. That's when the problem
started.

Whether that's what caused it, or whether that was a coincidence and a
buggy update was the culprit, I have no idea. I'll do a reinstall later
today and see what the result is.
