[sles-beta] Network Interfaces change name between install and first boot

[Tom Parker]

Hi Darren.  For sure and that is my next step, but this works every time
with SLES 11 and the "normal" ethX names are default now

Many people who are not part of the beta and were not there for the
"ugly" names will likely find this to be a problem.
