Hi Tim,
I assure you the MAC does match the MAC of the Ethernet chipset.
Looking at the quotes:.. All entries have exactly the same quotes around
every item right of the == . To wit:
# PCI device 0x1039:0x0900 (sis900)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="edited 
out", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",  NAME="eth0"

I think the bug is in udev itself.
