Here you go:

Permissions are 644 root ownership located in /etc/udev/rules.d  I'd really 
prefer to bus address ("KERNELS==") but that doesn't work, so I switched to MAC 
and still can't get it to work.
Nothing shows up in dmesg about renaming or anything like that.  It shows the 
driver finding the NICs and assigning them the names without any respect to my 
rules.

Here's the contents of the file:

# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.

# net device e1000e
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", 
ATTR{address}=="00:25:90:a4:9d:4f", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", 
KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

# net device e1000e
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", 
ATTR{address}=="00:25:90:a4:9d:4e", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", 
KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"



Thanks again
