Well, I don't think you're a moron. But then, I don't think I'm a moron
either, so maybe my judgement is impaired!
The correct line should be:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:d0:59:bd:d5:c5", ATTR{type}=="1",
NAME="eth1"
Change the second line to that and remove the third line. (Or remove the
second line and change wlan0 to eth1 in the third; same difference :-)
Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what I did (unless I'm very much mistaken).
I'm sorry if my long posts cause confusion.
Here's a transcript - nothing omitted except mechanics of editing:

The line with eth1 is having no effect whatsoever. The line with wlan0
is being inserted by the command modprobe hostap_pci, nothing else.
No. *Any* renaming is done by udev and only by udev.
Well, if you say so.
But I can rename interfaces (as root) without using udev, so if I can I
presume a systems program can too:
obelix:~# ls /sys/class/net/
eth0 lo wifi0 wlan0
obelix:~#
obelix:~# ifrename -i wlan0 -n eth3
Error: Can't open configuration file `/etc/iftab': No such file or directory
obelix:~# touch /etc/iftab
obelix:~# ifrename -i wlan0 -n eth3
eth3
obelix:~# ls /sys/class/net/
eth0 eth3 lo wifi0
obelix:~#
Cheers,
Barry
