Taking just the part that deals with the rename_net_if() function, I found it to be exactly what I want. A pair of rules like ... SYSFS{address}="00:16:17:5a:e5:7e", NAME="eth0" ... SYSFS{address}="00:40:95:46:f4:16", NAME="eth1" enforce the necessary stability, swapping the kernel names on occasions when that proves necessary. I would certainly like to see this merged with udev. It's certainly better than me telling users "you can have any names you like, except those you are used to".
