Details

I have got 2 network cards, so I created the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules and it's:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="b8:ac:6f:2c:77:e9", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="00:10:18:6f:5f:41", NAME="eth1"

Very often network cards is not assigned with that names and I have to set the IP address by ifconfig after the boot considering that the whole network configuration is wrong cause of the wrong eth* name assignment.

I have systemd 204-1, kernel 3.9.2-1 and netclt 1.0-1 installed.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Nothing to do here. Renaming within the kernel namespace is racy and will not work.

sometimes I get eth0 and eth1 associated correclty to their MAC address as specified in udev rules file, some other times the network cards switch eth0 -> 00:10:18:6f:5f:41 and eth1 -> b8:ac:6f:2c:77:e9 and some other times eth0 doesn't exist.

...which is why this sort of thing isn't supported. Use systemd's renaming facilities.
