Network adapters are given logical device names using udev rules. See for 
rules matching "net" SUBSYSTEM in /etc/udev/rules.d (usually 
*persistent-net-generator.rules). On first boot, the generator creates a rule 
file (*persistent-net.rules) for all persistent detected devices. 
Subsequently, any hot plugged network device gets assigned the next available 
sequence number.

Does your adapter have a fixed entry in this file? If not, you can add it 
manually. The list of active network devices is in /proc/net/dev and 
under /sys/class/net.
