Sorry, I'm a moron.

The correct line should be:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:d0:59:bd:d5:c5", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth1"

Change the second line to that and remove the third line. (Or remove the
second line and change wlan0 to eth1 in the third; same difference :-)

I have to check why the newly generated line gives "wlan0" instead of
"ethX" as I'd expected, but that's not that relevant for you.

Cheers,
FJP
