(Breezy) NICs all renamed

['Forum Post]

This happened to me yesterday when I dist-upgraded to Breezy. Couldn't
understand why my network wouldn't work, couldn't recieve DHCP address
and static IP:s wouldn't route. 



When I finally realised the problem it was easy to resolv the problem
thanks to this thread :D
