I used ifrename for a while, but found its interaction with ifupdown not quite right in some of the edge cases. If the machine i'm working on has udev, i prefer to use the udev ruleset myself.

This has also been discussed on this site in some users' weblogs.

In etch, at least the files /etc/udev/persistent-net.rules and /etc/udev/persistent-net-generator.rules have a nice automagic interaction to keep nice stable names for your NICs.
