No idea what the problem is in your case but as a datapoint I can say
that it has been working as expected for me for some time on arm over
kernels 2.6.18, 2.6.22, 2.6.23, 2.6.25. This is on arm rather than
armel, and on pxa. I've not noticed an issue on armel but I haven't
tested it as much. Which are you using?
(I actually find this behaviour mostly unhelpful - I normally want the
USB adaptor to be eth0 no matter how many different adaptors I plug in
and out (I have several). I'm sure udev can be adjusted to do this.)
