nic configuration are in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-*
inside you must put persistent_name=someName

the name you give to nics must be different from ethXX

in my case I use intranet and internet.

Next you can note that nic are identified or by they mac id or pci id so you
can use getcfg to ask what is the current name of the nic for mac XXXX

As you I lost a lot of time to resolv this situation (3 weeks), this is
painful at the beginning to search the good information
