This is so because of historical reasons, i.e. SunOS/BSD naming conventions, which rely on networking HW having its own name. One of the rare things I like is how Linux solved this: regardless of the networking HW, all interfaces are named "eth[0-N]", for example eth0, eth1, ... , ethN. Perhaps this would be a solution to consider? There can still be bge0, and iprb0, iprb1 or ce0 in the system, but they would also have aliases net0, net1, net2, net3 and so on.
