Ah, but this all gets very Alice In Wonderland. The
names in the udev rules are the names of the "device",
the names of the "interface" can be different.

If you are using the traditional "network" interface
then you may also need to fiddle the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* scripts
to have the right names and point to the right
hardware address.

If you are using NetworkManager, God knows how to
name the interfaces...
