Random network interface names in FC6

After upgrading my x86_64 box from fc5 to fc6 my former eth1 interface is renamed like __tmp182434234, and it changes with every boot. This is a forcedeth ethernet card. My eth0 is working as expected.

I'm not doing any device renaming myself, but tried putting it in /etc/mactab for workaround but didn't help. Any ideas what might be going on?

Thanks,
Mika
