title: Rename NIC in opensuse
body: <p>I'm using opensuse 13.1, and I need to rename my NIC from 'em1' to 'eth0'. While I've found several other people trying to rename NICs, I haven't found anyone who seems to be doing it in Suse 13.1. One of the frequently mentioned fixes is changing parameters in the 
  70-persistent-net.rules file, but mine is empty. I also haven't been able to find anything in Yast that has NIC names, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.</p>
  
  <p>If it helps, here's an example of someone doing in Red Hat what I'm trying to do:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.sysarchitects.com/em1_to_eth0" rel="nofollow">http://www.sysarchitects.com/em1_to_eth0</a>. </p>
  
  <p>The problem here is that the pathways he references don't always match up with mine (for example, I don't have /etc/grub.conf, nor do I know if I have an equivalent and if I do where to find it), so I haven't been able to use this example to get mine working.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the assistance!</p>
