Did a little googling of "udev eth designation" and found this:

http://www.mepis.org/node/10770

The short of it is to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.

You can remove the line for eth0, then take the line for eth1, and as long
as the "ATTR{address}" line matches the MAC address of your current eth1
NIC, just change:

NAME="eth1"

to

NAME=eth0"

Reboot, and voila!!!
