Hello,
Running 10.3 and after every reboot the eth for the LAN goes offline and is replaced with a new eth number that needs to set up. It also has a different MAC address. Its the nVidia nic that is having the problem. I have never seen this before. Below is what I could gather from ../log/messages. Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you. ~James

IIRC it's a bug with the forcedeth driver of Nvidia. You can set up a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/30-... Instead of the MAC address you have to fix the interface name on the driver="..." Okay, I had already posted the solution once before. Search the archive for "eth increasing by 1 after each reboot":
If it's the well-known forcedeth module problem you could try this:
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="forcedeth", NAME="eth0"
Delete everything else in this file.
