From what I understand after some research you need a additional
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules as follow:

|SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="90:e6:ba:01:00:01", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="90:e6:ba:01:00:02", NAME="eth1"|
||SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="90:e6:ba:01:20:01", NAME="eth2" Hope
this helps. Grtz Nick | |
