I though that was the key to it, but I kept on finding only references
to using two cards to split the load and provide redundancy. After seeing
your note I went and took a whack at it again and found a single ref
FYI and just in case someone else runs into it, this it how to do it.

Under Arch Linux, your network cards are sometimes named differently between two
reboot. Configuring your network connection is hard if you don't know
if you card will
be called eth0 or eth1
A file /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules.optional
can be used to tell
udev to generate persistent network rules.
It's very simple:
mv /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules.optional
/etc/udev/rules.d/
75-persistent-net-generator.rules
Reboot your system. A /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file has been
generated. Now you can disable the generator:
mv /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-
net-generator.rules.optional

Once you do that you will find a new set of rules
