You should avoid renaming devices to ethX, this is racy and especially
in recent udev versions it does not work.

You have two options:

1) Rename your devices to something not in the kernel namespace (e.g.,
lan0, lan1, ... or net0, net1, ...).

or

2) Use the predictable interface names, which is the default in recent
versions. This will give you a new set of names (see [0] for details).
