In Debian, the config file is /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules which contains lines like :

SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:03:47:aa:bb:cc", NAME="ethext"

It sure beats "port roulette" when your ethernet devices come up with pseudo random naming !

There's also support for assigning interfaces by MAC address in Shorewall. In /etc/shorewall/params:

        NETIF=$(find_interface_by_mac 11:22:33:44:55:66)

then use $NETIF. Not much need for that any more since most distros now provide stable interface naming automatically.
