I got this configured in my /etc/udev/local.rules :

BUS=="pci", KERNEL=="eth[0-9]", SYSFS{address}=="00:0c:f1:98:2e:ac" \
        NAME="wifi0"

BUS=="pci", KERNEL=="eth[0-9]", SYSFS{address}=="00:0f:1f:34:01:f4", \
        NAME="lan0"


Names my ethernet interface lan0 and the wireless wifi0 based on their MAC
addresses
