@cktenn that could work (using special-net-names), however I'm concerned that the rule should not apply to all r8152 devices, everywhere, on everyone's systems. It should apply *only* on Dell systems where this magical MAC passthrough is enabled. What can be checked to see if the system is a Dell with the special MAC passthrough enabled?
Alternately, if the only problem is 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules fails due to the system having multiple nics with the same mac, that rule could be adjusted to check if an interface with the name already exists, and if so don't try re-setting it (since that would fail). That might be an easier sell to Debian.
