udev rules - fails to allocate IP address during boot

[bardia.afshin]

Hi there,

I have modified the udev rules and a few other files in attempt to recover from not having an ip address being allocated to my eth0.

I'm able to get an IP address when I run the following command:
sudo service network-manager restart

HOWEVER, when I reboot the computer - I loose my connectivity and I have to rerun the command every I reboot after logging in.

here's my udev rule:/etc/udev/rules.d $
cat 70-persistent-net.rules
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

# PCI device 0x8086:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0 (e1000e)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"



Notice, I've obscured my mac address for security purposes.
