network doesn't work after updating to gutsy

[Sven Gottwald]

Binary package hint: udev

After updating from feisty to gusty the network cannot be started. The problem was that the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules contains two entries for one network card. The second entry was added by 75-persistent-net-generator.rules while booting. After I removed the first entry everything was fine.

---SNIP /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ---
# This file maintains persistent names for network interfaces.
# See udev(7) for syntax.
#
# Entries are automatically added by the 75-persistent-net-generator.rules
# file; however you are also free to add your own entries.

# Converted from /etc/iftab on upgrade
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:04:61:73:5C:28", ATTRS{type}=="1", NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x1106:0x3065 (via-rhine)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:04:61:73:5c:28", NAME="eth1"

I don't believe this is a dupe of 151786 which is about more than one entry in /etc/iftab

From what I can tell, svengo had only one entry in that file.

After closer inspection, this does indeed to be marked as a dupe to the correct bug.
