   looking at class device '/sys/class/net/eth0':
     SYSFS{addr_len}="6"
     SYSFS{address}="00:01:0a:10:a7:3b"
     SYSFS{broadcast}="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
     SYSFS{features}="0x29"
     SYSFS{flags}="0x1003"
     SYSFS{ifindex}="2"
     SYSFS{iflink}="2"
     SYSFS{mtu}="1500"
     SYSFS{tx_queue_len}="1000"
     SYSFS{type}="1"

follow the class device's "device"
   looking at the device chain at 
'/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/0000:01:07.0':
     BUS="pci"
     ID="0000:01:07.0"
     SYSFS{class}="0x020000"
     SYSFS{detach_state}="0"
     SYSFS{device}="0x8139"
     SYSFS{irq}="5"
     SYSFS{subsystem_device}="0x8139"
     SYSFS{subsystem_vendor}="0x1436"
     SYSFS{vendor}="0x10ec"

   looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0':
     BUS="pci"
     ID="0000:00:08.0"
     SYSFS{class}="0x060400"
     SYSFS{detach_state}="0"
     SYSFS{device}="0x006c"
     SYSFS{irq}="0"
   SYSFS{subsystem_device}="0x0000"
     SYSFS{subsystem_vendor}="0x0000"
     SYSFS{vendor}="0x10de"

   looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/pci0000:00':
     BUS=""
     ID="pci0000:00"
     SYSFS{detach_state}="0"

And udevinfo for eth1 shows:

  looking at class device '/sys/class/net/eth1':
     SYSFS{addr_len}="6"
     SYSFS{address}="00:08:54:d1:a0:d5"
     SYSFS{broadcast}="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
     SYSFS{features}="0x0"
     SYSFS{flags}="0x1002"
     SYSFS{ifindex}="3"
     SYSFS{iflink}="3"
     SYSFS{mtu}="1500"
     SYSFS{tx_queue_len}="1000"
     SYSFS{type}="1"

follow the class device's "device"
   looking at the device chain at 
'/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/0000:01:08.0':
     BUS="pci"
     ID="0000:01:08.0"
     SYSFS{class}="0x020000"
     SYSFS{detach_state}="0"
     SYSFS{device}="0x8169"
     SYSFS{irq}="11"
     SYSFS{subsystem_device}="0x8169"
   ......................................
I also tried these rules without success:

KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:08:54:d1:a0:d5",  NAME="eth0"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:01:0a:10:a7:3b",  NAME="eth1"

If i use 'nameif' in the hotplug script net.agent it works. But i prefer 
to rename the interface by device type rather than address.
