It's worth talking to Prarit about this stuff because he's looking into persistent network device naming issues in general. I'm sure you know, but there's a generic DMI extension that allows you to determine from the system what the PCI slot->device name mapping should be so that e.g. moving the disk from one system to another doesn't affect the naming. Of course this only works on systems with the requisite SMBUS/DMI extension *but* it will (eventually) be a nice solution to the naming issues and worth working with him on if you're not already.
