what i did to solve the problem is the following. This has been found on the debian link in the second post, now my Ethernet is always eth0
1. edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
2. remove all the existing entries and add a new one, something like
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="forcedeth", NAME="eth0"
