Does this indicate something to you?
Well, yeah. Unless I'm reading that incorrectly, it appears that the
device normaly refered to as 'eth0' is now 'Intel'. Does this ring any
bells as to how it was changed?
Though I haven't bothered with persistent naming rules, I'd guess this will
work:
=====================================================
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop #This will probably error on you
mv /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0 \
/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.Intel
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
======================================================
Yesss. It worked !! I was really at a loss. Thanks so much for your very
efficient diagnosis. It looked a complicated and buggy case.
I really have no idea when and how 'eth0' got changed to 'intel' (it is
actually intel and NOT Intel as I had written).
Can this be changed back to 'eth0'? 'intel' does look out of place and not a
standard terminology.
Well, thanks a lot once again.

Randhir Phagura
