It seems that for some reason this puppy is not using either '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules' nor the older '/etc/iftab' method to ensure that eth0 and eth1 refer to the same interfaces across re-boots. Unless something specific is done Linux does not guarantee how ethernet adapters are named. On the other hand the '/sage/puppy/notify-eth' is calling 'ifconfig eth1' in order to retrieve the ip address.
So if it really is necessary to generate such notices then something is missing from this distribution. I am not sure yet what needs to be added - maybe some more udev support of some kind?
