This appears to be a bug. I am seeing the same thing. kudzu wants to rm it
then reinstall it. the problem is that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
does not exist. It is installed as ifcfg-eth1. This machine only has 1 NIC.

Kudzu also appears to want to teconfigure it on every boot. Once I mv'd the
config file eth0 works but...

Do you want to bugzilla this or should I. If you do please let me know the number.
