You might want to investigate the 'ifrename' package:
"Ifrename allow the user to decide what name a network interface
will have. Ifrename can use a variety of selectors to specify how
interface names match the network interfaces on the system, the most
common selector is the interface MAC address."
It's often a good solution for any system with multiple network
interfaces, when you want to be sure that the correct interface is
assigned to each one.
