This bug is due to the ifrename script (called by net.agent)
Seems to be a big hack to change interfaces name before there are up. This may 
lead to some redundancy between /etc/modprobe.conf (using module name) 
and /etc/iftab (using mac address) 
Some infos: "man iftab"
I don't know why I never seen this script before. Is it new in mdk10.1?


3 solutions for eagleconfig to change interface name :

  1) remove the line containing modem mac address in /etc/iftab and let 
modprobe.conf choose modem interface name

  2) put "eagle_usb mac mac_address" (for example) in /etc/iftab and don't add 
anything in modprobe.conf

  3) write name "eagle_usb" in both /etc/iftab and modprobe.conf

1) and 3) sould be the best. For the moment, I don't know when /etc/iftab is 
updated. I'll check this tomorrow...
