Description Anke Boernig 2005-08-26 09:34:25 UTC 
The problem that the names of network interfaces are not consistent is quite
common. 
I know that I can use "PERSISTENT_NAME" in the configuration file to set the
interface name - but I found no mention of that in the manual page for "ifcfg".
Comment 1 Christian Zoz 2005-08-26 15:42:30 UTC 
PERSISTENT_NAME is obsolete. Have a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/3*-net*.
Interfaces will always get the interface name they had when they were registered
the first time. 

There is still no documentation, but i will add it.
