That's because you didn't clear the previous card's eth0 entry in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules before you booted up
the new card.

If it bugs you, it's never too late. Just edit the name in that file
(you probably want to remove the stale entry too) and reboot.
(Removing all eth* entries and rebooting will achieve the same end.)
Of course, you'll have to change eth1 back to eth0 elsewhere.

Cheers,
David.
