Yes, you need a corresponding 'ifcfg-<dev>' file to match the udev.d's NAME="<dev>" value. Do not use the ifcfg-<dev>'s 'HWADDR="..."' though.

I started using the NAME parameter in Fedora 16.  ifcfg-lan:
NAME="lan"
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT="yes"
UUID="331f16e6-ee78-40a6-b06d-c906491821ee"
HWADDR="00:22:19:20:AF:2D"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
.
.
.

This allows me to just:
ifup lan
ifdown lan

This helps when you have more than one internet connection or when you have operators that don't really know what eth1 is.
ifup Comcast
ifup ISP2

PS. Still have to remember what-is-what with ifconfig tough.
