Just a suggestion: Have you tried to use mapping based on mac address
like suggested in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz
Something like this:
# Two ethernet interfaces, one connected to a trusted LAN, the other to
# the untrusted Internet, identified by MAC address rather than
# interface
# name:
#
# auto eth0 eth1
# mapping eth0 eth1
# script /path/to/get-mac-address.sh
# map 11:22:33:44:55:66 lan
# map AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF internet
# iface lan inet static
# address 192.168.42.1
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# pre-up /usr/local/sbin/enable-masq $IFACE
# iface internet inet dhcp
# pre-up /usr/local/sbin/firewall $IFACE
Good luck!
