[rhelv6-beta-list] udev changes the NIC enumeration

Hello,

I have found a peculiar behavior of RHEL6 as KVM guest. If you remove 
the NIC and add a new one then the udev searches for the eth1 rather 
than eth0.

hence no IP will be assigned if dhcp is present. Workaround is create a 
file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and enter the details. 
But  it should not happen.

Any Thoughts?
