This works:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-phyname.rules:
-- begin --
ACTION!="add", GOTO="phyname_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="ieee80211", GOTO="phyname_end"

# read MAC address
ENV{MATCHADDR}="$attr{macaddress}"
ENV{PHYIDX}="$attr{index}"

ENV{MATCHADDR}=="02:00:00:00:00:00", RUN+="/usr/sbin/iw %k set name hwsim0"

LABEL="phyname_end"
-- end --

Of course, you'd probably want to do something like
persistent-net-generator etc, but I'll leave that to somebody else.

Just remember you can't actually name it "phy0".
