Re,
I did a snapshot of my system, then created a new droplet using the snapshot and ended up without eth0. Running CentOS 6 x64.
Could be completely unrelated, but there’s a SUSE customer with a missing network interface as well: http://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digital-ocean/suggestions/3639542-put-a-priority-on-fixing-your-32-bit-suse-image

I would get in touch with DO’s support department directly. I’ve not had any issues with snapshots or backups missing configurations, so it could simply be a blip in the system, or it could be a more widespread failure during the restoration. Either way, they should be able to help you directly via ticket,
The OpenSUSE image does have a few issues and that’s why we’ve taken it down for maintenance. Some of the smaller less supported distros need a few updates however CentOS and Ubuntu are the most popular and should be pretty rock solid. <br> <br>The issue that you ran into is very surprising and if you open a ticket about it we can move it to engineering and dive deeper into it to see if the problem recurs.
P.S. “ifconfig -a” showed eth1, so I manually configured it with IP/broadcast/mask and that worked. However, this means that I cannot use the snapshot (and I tried creating it twice) for automatic deployment.
