Try `/sbin/ifconfig -a`. If you are lucky, it will show you an eth1 interface or something alike. The issue is that udev keeps track of network interfaces. If it finds a new one, it asigns it a new number instead of reusing the old one. You can change this, but to get everything running fast, just copy your config from eth0 to eth1, create a symlink between /etc/init.d/net.lo and /etc/init.d/net.eth1 and start that one. Hope this helps, Florian Philipp
