i just checked and it apparently changed into 70-persistent-net.rules in 
Lenny instead of the 25 on Etch.

but yes, this file is regenerated on start up if its not there, you can 
also manually change it and then it will be read on start up.
if the new card is listed as eth3 you can just change it into eth0 if 
you like

i once made some notes on the link below if you'd like to double check.
