ifrename is a hack and needed for 2.4 kernels only these days. udev
can certainly rename interfaces, though I don't know what the OP's
problem is. I'd suggest talking to a udev-related list, or at least
to debian-user, for this isn't really something to do with -devel.
Anyway, this is what I use on one of my machines, and it works like
a charm:
KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:10:dc:c8:85:07", NAME="lan"
I suggest not using NAME="ethX" because there may be name clashes.
Use a completely different name instead.
