BROADCOM Wireless device name switch

Question

Hi all,
i have a broadcom wireless card,
i installed it using instruction on the wiki, and it works fine, 
se i have the problem of interfaces swapping every time, i read the solution in the wiki.
But it seems to don't work.
In fact i edited the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules
with that:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:22:64:7F:E8:7C", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:21:00:9B:3C:6D", NAME="eth1"
but it seems to ignore it!!!!
I have the interfaces swapped every time.
(i had a similar problem with other udev rules, seems that every rules that i writ is ignored!!!)
Any idea?

Answer 1

Here is my situation, i have the following rules in /etc/udev/rules.d:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104 Oct 26 05:39 10-cups-usb.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 132 Jan 30 20:10 10-network.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 462 Jan 3 23:14 75-cd-aliases-generator.rules.optional
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3981 Jan 3 23:14 75-persistent-net-generator.rules.optional
The rule 10-network.rules is the one that i created following the example on the wiki.
here is the code:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:22:64:7f:e8:7c", NAME="eth1"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:21:00:9b:3c:6d", NAME="eth0"
And the actual ifconfig is:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:00:9B:3C:6D
inet addr:192.168.1.237 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:64:7F:E8:7C
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

As you can see the two device are switched.
Maybe the rule should have the executable flag set?
