Edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules

Addendum: This usually happens if one cloned a Linux system from one
host to another, or if one exchanged Ethernet cards, or if one changes
MAC addresses. Since you worte about "reconfigure", you already had a
configuration for eth0, and you could fall under one of these cases.
That files holds a record of all previously configured Ethernet devices,
and maps MAC addresses to device names. It operates under the assumption
that a device name is allocated for a newly seen MAC address and then
reserved for it -- which is a reasonable assumption for enterprise
environments and not always true for SOHO and private environments.
In my case I am fairly certain it is something eccentric in the
hardware. Sony laptops while nice machines are not noted for their
usability under linux, and while everything seems to work (I admit I
have not tested the sony stick slot), you do have do tweak things in odd
ways to get a result.
Ah, one of these cases. I heard of them, but luckily never
experienced them. All our Laptops are IBM Thinkpads, and they work
like a charm. (Even the very old CS701, aka Butterfly, from 1996 --
though I run Slackware on it, this was easier to get really small.)
Here's hoping that Lenovo doesn't bring down the quality of the TP
T series that I like a lot. Maybe I should by a T61p while they are
still good. ;-)
