Follow http://www.colinux.org/snapshots/devel-RUNNING:

 -- Some dev distries increase eth1, eth2, eth3, ... on every boot.
    Typicaly have no network, but can see it with "cat /proc/net/dev".
    As workarrount set an unique MAC address for all network interfaces
    in config file. Or disable udev.
    Debian: Remove all entries from
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
