Looks like there's two rules pointing to the same device: # PCI device 0x10de:0x00df (forcedeth) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:e0:18:99:88:77", NAME="eth0" # PCI device 0x10de:0x00df (forcedeth) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:13:8f:33:32:e2", NAME="eth1" >From a forum I learned to rm the link eth0 in /etc/init.d and make a new one, eth1 that points to net.lo. So now the ethernet is up but there's still a lot of complaining on the boot console, "can't find eth0" etc. BTW I was wrong about mii, forcedeth *is* the appropriate module. The confusion arose because I was expecting eth0 to be set up.
