A little googling helped me find this:

host:/etc/udev/rules.d# cat z25_persistent-net.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, probably run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
# MAC addresses must be written in lowercase.

# PCI device 0x1186:0x4b00 (sky2)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:00:5a:70:85:cd",  
NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x8086:0x1096 (e1000)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:15:17:2a:b2:c9",  
NAME="eth2"

# PCI device 0x8086:0x1096 (e1000)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:15:17:2a:b2:c8",  
NAME="eth1"

# PCI device 0x10b7:0x9200 (3c59x)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:01:03:c3:9d:98",  
NAME="eth3"

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1645 (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:0a:5e:50:44:f5",  
NAME="eth4"

So it appears that its holding my old dlink (sky2 driver) for eth0.

Cheers,
