Oh, I see now. Misunderstanding rised because syslog entry appeared to
be a bit ambiguous. Since I'm not deep in udev I didn't realized from
that message that there should be '/sys/class/net/eth1/device' symlink
pointing to the physical device. Might it be worth to rewrite udev
message?

And one more unclarity: why udev writes that it needs an update in
case it's a driver problem?
