Additionally, you can use a "stable" name. Just add something like
    PERSISTENT_NAME='cable'
to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifconfig-*

Please note that you should not use "eth0" or any other existing device
name as persistent name - it will make trouble. (However, eth42 should
work as long as you don't really have that much network cards.)
