Thanks for the tip. Similar information is in the SuSE 9.2 Pro Admin Guide, I just didn't know I needed to look for udev. Using that, your link and http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php I got this straightened out. The man page for udev said files ending in .rules were loaded from /etc/udev/rules.d in alphabetical order. There was only one file ther, 50-udev.rules, so I created 49-udev.rules with
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:06:5b:05:f2:8f", NAME="eth0" Then I shutdown networking with 'rcnetwork stop', unloaded the modules with 'rmmod e100 tg3', loaded 'em back up, started networking back up, and the NICs had the desired names.
