The problem is when the kernel has decided to give your interfaces the names
you want them to have, but in the wrong order.

You might want A=eth0, B=eth1, C=eth2

If the kernel decides A=eth1, B=eth2, C=eth0 then there's no way for udev
rules to rename them, because "File exists" (which should of course say
"Device name exists").

You have to first rename all ethX to somethingelseX, and then you can rename
them back again in the sequence of your choice.

Maybe you can do this in two separate udev rules files; I did it using one udev
rules file and network/interfaces.
