So tap112 is quite > a sane setting - for me at least it is. I was just surprised, and one of my thoughts was "it is barfing on 112 because maybe the code is stupid and expects 1 digit".

About Ubuntu, make sure ifrename is not installed and /etc/network/if-* and /etc/rc2.d do not mention ifrename, and that ifrename is not installed. I can only think that some hotplug script is receiving an event through sysfs / hotplug / some such hell and is renaming the interface.
