ifrename is very helpful in giving interfaces stable names; hotplug
uses it automatically when loading network drivers, and you can
specify

    pre-up ifrename

in the /etc/network/interfaces stanzas for any interfaces whose
drivers are compiled into your kernel (or alternatively add an early
init script that runs ifrename, but that's more effort).
