No - udev records the MAC address for each NIC, so that the names do
not change if you add another NIC. But a side affect of this is that
when you change NICs, then new on gets the next free name. You can
sove your problem by deleting
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. You may also need to edit
the config file for eth0 if it also has the MAC address in it.
(HWADDR=). When you reboot, the new NIC will be eth0 instead of eth1.
