Yes, really annoying. I have a laptop with an ether NIC (eth0) and a
wireless card (eth1), and whenever I suspend the machine, they seem to get
reversed.
What's needed (I think) is a way to bind the names to interfaces by MAC
address. (And no, including the MAC addresses in
/etc/sysconfig/networ-scripts/ifcfg-eth? doesn't do the job. It just
gives an error indication that the interface is bound to the wrong card.)
