The udev stuff runs after the device has already chosen it's default name. It has to, it's part of the hotplug infrastructure, and we don't want to depend on usermode to define the name. Just choose some other convention "eth_0" or something like that.
Is that because adding another NIC at a later time might cause it to grab ethN out from under what I'm trying to do with udev?
