Udev stopped network

Upgrading udev from 130-1 (i686) to 135-1 I noticed my network no longer worked. Reinstalling 130 worked.

With 135 I saw

[paul@night ~]$ dmesg | grep eth
...
eth0: VIA Rhine II at 0x1b400, 00:0c:76:56:eb:64, IRQ 23.
eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1 Link 45e1.
udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1
...

My udev-135 /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules:

# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.

# PCI device 0x1106:0x3065 (via-rhine)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0c:76:56:eb:64", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x1106:0x3065 (via-rhine)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0c:76:56:eb:64", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

So changing eth0 to eth1 throughout pacman.conf restored my network with udev-135. Is that the best way?
