Some more info as I added the rules to a new file: 10-udev.rules
##Rename network interfaces
BUS="pci", SYSFS{device}="0x8169", NAME="eth0"
BUS="pci", SYSFS{device}="0x8139", NAME="eth1"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:08:54:d1:a0:d5", NAME="eth0"
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:01:0a:10:a7:3b", NAME="eth1"
and syslog shows that the rules are applied:
udev[7620]: configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d//10-udev.rules' at
line 3 applied, 'eth0' becomes 'eth1'
udev[7621]: configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d//10-udev.rules' at
line 2 applied, 'eth1' becomes 'eth0'
However, the end result is that device 0x8139 is still configured as
eth0 as ifconfig shows:
>>ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:0A:10:A7:3B
inet addr:192.168.0.5 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
