I don't think that can ever work in the default ethX namespace. The
userspace logic that requests these interfaces should be able to
supply a custom name along with the request for the new device.
Putting things like this by default under the ethX namespace can not
work with any current logic.
Alternatively, the persistent rules can be disabled by:
echo "# disable persistent net rules" > \
/etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules
which will disable the rules file with the same name in /lib/udev/rules.d/.
But then nobody should be surprised by random names at booup, if
modules are not carfully loaded manually in a controlled order.
