And couldn't we use udev to associate a fixed name with a MAC address? Then the user could use the same persistent name, regardless of the order in which the driver found the devices.
I don't know about udev, but people are definitely using fixed names based on MAC address for ethernet devices already: nameif(8) and /etc/mactab, iftab(5) and ifrename(8).
