Is there a good reason to have the persistent NIC rules? I've stumbled onto some wierd behavior where an on-board RTL-8169 gets a different MAC address under circumstances I haven't sussed out yet (00 1b b9 6b 96 06 and 00 00 00 00 96 06), so Udev reassigns it eth1 and network startup fails. I'm not sure why, whether it's udev, the chip implementation, or BIOS, but an easy fix would seem to be to delete that rules file as a matter of course at shutdown. But then the "easy" route is often wrong, so I ask.
