I'm having a networking problem with a UML installation.  I can boot the
uml guest and get consoles and I can even get networking configured and
working, but when I reboot the guest it complains that it can't find the
ethernet device and /sbin/ifconfig shows that the ethernet device available
is one greater than previously.  IOW, the first time, it's eth0, the second
eth1, the third eth3, etc.  Obviously, this means
that /etc/network/interfaces doesn't have the right eth device.  I can then
manually configure the current device whether it is eth0 or eth22, but I'd
rather not have to do that every time I boot the guest.  So my question is
why does the device keep incrementing?  What controls it, and how can I
make it stop?

Thanks,

Will
