[[Category:Fedora]][[Category:OPS235]]{{Admon/note|Fedora 12/13/14|These instructions are written for Fedora 12 and 13 but should apply to other earlier Fedora releases. Fedora 15 utilizes a new persistent naming scheme, and interfaces may be named differently than in previous releases.}}
By default, Fedora binds ethernet interfaces (such as eth0) to a MAC address (specific network interface card/NIC). This is useful, because if a NIC is added, it will be assigned a new ethernet interface (instead of bumping the existing eth0 to eth1). However, this causes problems when you use a removable disk drive and move it from one computer to another.
