Sadly not, but thanks to both you and Maximilian for the replies. I attach /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (having edited the last entry to point to eth0 as you suggested). I also attach the output of ip addr show, as suggested by Maximilian, for both 2.6.26 and 2.6.29 (after I edited the rules file). Grateful for any further suggestions - this is beyond my knowledge.
