My workaround nowadays is to go to the Network Manager icon and edit the
connection to put my desired MAC address as the 'cloned address'.
When i start the computer back up, it's once again got a different MAC address
and eth* number but i can change it to the current one - which is a tiny bit
faster than typing console commands but still not a fix.
The relevant content of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules shows:

Why does it keep getting a new address, hence a new eth number assigned?
Is this a driver fault or a bug in an ubuntu config file? And more
importantly, is there a way to fix this? :(
