renamed network interface eth0 to eth1

Hi,

I couldn't figure out why the network wouldn't come up, untill I saw this:

hugo@debian:~$ dmesg | grep -i eth
[    1.181349] 8139cp: 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver v1.3 (Mar 22, 2004)
[    1.229553] 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28
[    1.231041] eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0x3000, 00:0a:e4:eb:04:59, IRQ 20

[   21.532930] eth1: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
[   32.464023] eth1: no IPv6 routers present

Why would udev rename the interface?
