Hello Juan,
actually you can name it via udev:
you may have a generated rules file that you can modify.
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Hi.
The past weekend I did change my motherboard.  The new one has the 
ethernet interface integrated into it (no other card of this type is 
plugged)
My surprise is is because my squeeze was unable to bring uo this 
interface (eth0 didn't exists);  Guessin I change it to eth2 and 
everything works.
My questio is:  How can I know what name is asigned to a such a 
card?  Is there any command?  I'm looking on google and everybody 
sais etho is the first, eth1 the second and so on.   I have only one 
and it's eth2, why?
Thanks for your help.
Regards.
Juan
