I used to have problems with interfaces changing names on me on reboot, but it went away after upgrading to a newer Ubuntu version. The reason is that recent Ubuntu versions have a file located at /etc/iftab that assigns persistent names to network interfaces in the same way that /etc/fstab can assign mount points to specific devices. I don't know if this is a Debian/Ubuntu specific thing or if it is a feature of the latest versions of udev, but it might be worth looking into. -- Daniel Bartholomew
