yep,
use SYSFS{address}="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" as the match part of the rule
and it will work, that's it :)
by the way, thanks to all udev developers and the guy that never
sleeps, who made this tiny little binary; I use it in initrd to boot
my dm-crypt'ed root, to manage all /dev at real boot and after, and to
set my 3 ethernet cards to "external", "private" and "dmz" names.
Seems like 2.6 changed many things in Linux world, all that with
stability ;)
