But a side affect of this is that when you change NICs, then new on gets the next free name. You can sove your problem by deleting /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. You may also need to edit the config file for eth0 if it also has the MAC address in it. (HWADDR=). When you reboot, the new NIC will be eth0 instead of eth1.
