In what universe are those "consistant" device names, as opposed to eth[0...]? And how could it help automated scripts that you can run on *any* system you're administering?
if I have a Intel gigE interface and a Marvell 10g interfaces, which one is eth0 and why?
Say its Intel on eth0 and Marvell on eth1, if I then add another intel, is the Marvell now eth2 ?
In my experience the new interface would be eth2, because the startup scripts create a mac binding to ethx name in the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file, so even if the intel is probed before the marvel the scripts rename them to keep them in the original order.
