Edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules
change eth3 to eth0 and restart the network. Take care not to have another eth0 in this file !!
That seems like a pretty kludgy way to do it. I just don't want KNetworkManager to use eth3 as the default interface on boot. Yes, changing that file would work, though I would probably have to reconfigure all the network settings for eth0 and eth3.
Where does it store the setting to use eth3 as the primary interface?
In the above file :-) The names are generated by udev from another rule set and added to this file...
Addendum: This usually happens if one cloned a Linux system from one host to another, or if one exchanged Ethernet cards, or if one changes MAC addresses. Since you worte about "reconfigure", you already had a configuration for eth0, and you could fall under one of these cases. That files holds a record of all previously configured Ethernet devices, and maps MAC addresses to device names. It operates under the assumption that a device name is allocated for a newly seen MAC address and then reserved for it -- which is a reasonable assumption for enterprise environments and not always true for SOHO and private environments.
