Specifying eth0 will not help as the kernel "arbitrarily" changes the names
upon reboot. The machine I'm currently struggling with is choosing eth0 for
the first on-board NIC for ~50-60% of the time (no hard numbers on that one)
and the first add-on NIC otherwise (currently only these two are connected).
I think it highly depends on timing when the kernel is scanning for available
devices. As long as you only have NICs handled by a single driver/module I
think you are fine, but add different cards into the same machine and you will
run into trouble...
