One can write short script which runs on system startup and changes device names to desired ones by matching device using MAC address, so the rest of scripts can rely on "right" names. Change name using SIOCSIFNAME, available in 2.2.x at least. Otherway - imagine, one has some PCI card in PCI slot 3 and then installs other same type card in slot 1. How can driver have any idea which card was in first? The only easy-to-get unique information about card is MAC address. The rest depends just on your scripting skills and imagination.
