| I had similar problems with udev rules when adding a 2nd NIC and
| needed to override the assignments which switched the original eth0 to
| eth1.

| For some reason, despite all the info that says the over-ride filename
| should be alphanumerically "smaller", it only works if the file is
| alphanumerically "larger". Which kind of make sense to me since a

Didn't work either.  The MODE stuff works in either case, but the GROUP stuff does not.  I've just decided to use puppet to manage it instead for now and might revisit it in the future
