Don't want to fiddle too much right now as I'll be leaving for Paris in 
an hour and don't want to break it too much. I'll fiddle on return.

Your explanation sounds plausible tho'. I have actually removed the old 
eth0 and bumped all the interfaces around manually so I guess it's 
renaming them all to ensure the old eth0 device still has room.

Will follow up on Sunday/Monday.
