If you can match the device so you can set the mac address, then you
could just set the name instead.  Matching on a mac address you've set
in another udev rule makes no sense.

You have to set NAME to something, and it should be a valid netdevice
name.  Lots of stuff will work, but not everything.

This should work:

SUBSYSTEM=="net",ACTION=="add",ATTRS{idVendor}=="413c",ATTRS{idProduct}=="81a3",NAME="foobar"
