I think you can address both problems with udev or HAL.
I've done it in the past, but these things are changing too fast
and with almost no documentation around.
It could be that on newer Fedora things are different.
My /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules contains (xx where I removed my data): (on Fedora 10)
# PCI device 0x8086:0x1049 (e1000)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth0"
# PCI device 0x8086:0x4230 (iwl4965)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0"
# PCMCIA device 0x0202:0x021b (axnet_cs)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth1"
I created a /etc/udev/rules.d/11-ROB.rules for the external usb disks containing: (on Fedora 5)
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="5743xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", SYSFS{product}=="External HDD ",KERNEL=="sd?1", NAME="external_bup_disk"
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="5744xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", SYSFS{product}=="My Book ",KERNEL=="sd?1", NAME="external_bup_disk2"
The serial has to be found in the lshal output (a lot of output, not easy).
In both cases the NAME part is where you decide what you want to have in /dev.
