I decided to drop the iftab thing and replace it with udev rules. The
following rules do the expected renaming:
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:13:77:04:a7:77", NAME="eth0"
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:00:f0:41:20:07:e8:49", SYSFS{type}=="24",
NAME="fw0"
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:13:02:0f:56:a2", SYSFS{type}=="1",
NAME="wlan0"

lsmod shows a use count of 4294967295 (2^32 - 1), no oopses or the like. This
is reproducable all the time.
