after the kernel upgrade, I saw twice the built-in ethernet interface as eth1 
and twice as eth0. The usb ethernet adapter was twice eth0 and twice eth1 
(i.e. the complementing one).

The udev rule would imply that the built-in interface is eth0 and the usb 
adpater ethernet interface is eth1.

No, these are really two interfaces:

# new nslu2
# Unknown net device (/class/net/eth0) (ixp400_eth)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:18:39:28:f2:a9", 
NAME="eth0"

# USB device 050d:0121 (pegasus)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:05:1b:00:5a:39", 
NAME="eth1"

Thanks,
Rainer
