7 You can use udev rules to ensure your network interfaces are correctly
8 named, which saves disabling anything. On the other hand, if you will
9 never use Firewire networking, you could simply remove the option from

12 The udev rules I use to ensure my wired, wireless and Firewire interfaces
13 are named i that order are
14
15 KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:0d:93:3c:76:26", NAME:="eth0"
16 KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:0d:93:ef:f2:c0", NAME:="eth1"
17 KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:0d:93:ff:fe:3c:76:26", NAME:="eth2"
18
19 Those are the MAC addresses of the interfaces.
