Note that a permanent solution is needed anyway, in the form of the ability to 
assign a configuration to a network device without relying upon its number.

After removal of hotplug and replacing it with uevent triggers, the ethernet 
device numbering will no longer be stable. I.e., now one may have onboard 
e100 card as eth0 and a rtl8139 as eth1, and there is absolutely no warranty 
that the next reboot of the same system will not assign eth0 to rtl8139 and 
eth1 to e100.
