You're not squinting just right.   You gotta squint at it.  But just right.

Try this:

Open up /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules in your favorite editor.

You will see lines that begin with something like this:
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1639 (bnx2)

Delete ALL of that.   In fact, delete everything under the message about 
how the file is automatically generated blah blah blah.

Save the file, exit your editor.

Reboot.

See what happens.
