You can give the devices persistant names. This is so bloody easy, all you have
to know is the MAC
address of your NICs:
1) Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules (feel free to choose
another name)
2) Add the following rules to this file:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="00:11:22:33:44:55", NAME="wlan"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="00:12:23:34:45:56", NAME="lan0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="00:12:23:c3:99:af", NAME="lan1"
Replace the SYSFS{address} value with your MAC address (be sure to write the
letters in the MAC
address lowercase, because sysfs has them in lowercase and the comparison is
case-sensitive).
In the NAME field, you can give the interfaces any name you want, the interface
will now always have
the same name, which doesn't depend on any module loading order. The only thing
left is to change
your rc.conf to the new names.
