predefine interfaces by MAC with udev?

No go :(

My /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules looks like this
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="44:4d:50:e1:f1:4e",
NAME="eth0"
And when I break=top, I can see that it is present. So it's there on boot.

But the interfaces are still getting mixed up.

Does that make any sense? Maybe my hardware is faulty?

Thanks.
Chris.
