As long as this is not "eth0" or something like that... :-)

Thanks Bill.  It is good to know; although this seems to be
one of those pieces of information which you can get only on
some mailing list or from a deep study of all scripts coming
into a play and there is quite a few of these with not always
obvious interactions.  I will have to try to play with that
myself. One hopes that kudzu will not go bonkers.

That would suggest that OP could name his network interfaces,
say, "wired" and "less" and they will keep these names regardless
of an order in which corresponding modules are loaded.
