[Xen-users] in domU eth0 is now eth3?

[Rune Elvemo <rune.elvemo@xxxxxxx>]

We had a little strange experience here. We had to copy something to our
xen image. It was done while the domU was down, mounting using the
loopback device.
After we had finished the job, unmounted, and restarted the domU, we had
no eth0. Got an error message in the bootup. I thought something had
gone really wrong, and that we no more had network access in this
particular domU.

After checking things out, there was still an ethernet device, however
now it's listed as eth3 inside the domU. Is there a way to control what
the virtual ethernet device should be named inside the virtual domU? 

Given the current config it could  for instance all of a sudden turn up
as eth2, so it would be nice to be able to say that it should ALWAYS be
known as eth0

Anyone who has any suggestions?

(I've attached the current config, only diffence from the actual config
is that the real IP is not specified, there is only one bridge in use,
and eth3 does work exactly like the previous eth0 did)

Thanks!
