Please do not top post.
Regarding your now solved problem, I don't have such file
(70-persistent-net.rules) in my rules.d directory, it seems that it
has something to do with automatic udev configuration. I don't have
any idea on WHY or WHEN this is run. It appears to be run by some rule
in UDEV configuration writting persistent net devices.

Maybe someone else will have a better idea... They'll probably need
your UDEV version...
