I haven't used Kubuntu, but it's possible that there are udev rules for
network interface naming that assign the name of eth1 to the interface.
It might be worth looking in /etc/udev in the guest.

(Some recent version of the Debian udev packages include such rules to
allow network interface names to remain consistent even when the order
in which devices appear changes.  Perhaps that version of Kubuntu does
something similar with network device naming.)
