I have to install Matlab on a Fedora 20 machine and I need to rename the
network device to eth0, or else Matlab won't install. This is a known issue:

So, to revert to eth0, I follow these instructions:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/
It says I have 4 options. I did ALL of them and still
[root@phoenix ~]# /sbin/ifconfig

etc.
Specifically, I have masked /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules
by creating a link /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules -> /dev/null.
[root@phoenix ~]# ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d/
total 8

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 352 Apr 3 04:36 98-kexec.rules
I also have an /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules:
[root@phoenix ~]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0c:f1:bc:29:fe", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0",
ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
I also passed net.ifnames=0 to the kernel upon boot:
[root@phoenix ~]# dmesg | grep ifnames
[ 0.000000] Kernel command line:
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.15.6-200.fc20.i686+PAE
root=UUID=aa696c85-f1d4-4bf3-9a93-b011ec8e9a6a ro
vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet net.ifnames=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Someone must have figured this out. Can anybody please help me solve this?
Also, NetworkManager might have something to do with this, because if I
right-click the NW applet -> Edit Connections, I do have a connection named
eth0, but if I try to edit that, the device MAC address is
00:0c:f1:bc:29:fe (em1)
So NW somehow likes em1, despite all my efforts. If I stop and disable NW,
then the network does not even start upon boot, as it should. How do I tell
NW to leave my network alone and still have the network start upon boot?
Thanks!
