At least for Fedora 19 there is a feature [1] on track 19 which
addresses this problem (If I understood you correctly).
This won't give you the ability to rename the NICs, but the NIC names
won't change.
This is similar to what biosdevname does, but extends it and isn't
limited to Dell machines.

Does this feature help you (when it lands)?

Greetings
