Worth noting that I did not remove /etc/init.d/net.eth0 and upon rebooting a 
box I couldn't connect to it via ssh!  This was despite having changed the 
firewall interface in the iptables rules to the new NIC name.

Thankfully I had physical access.  sshd complained that net.eth0 was not 
available.  I deleted the /etc/init.d/net.eth0 symlink and rebooted.  No more 
problems.
