     Just a suggestion: Have you tried to use mapping based on mac address
    like suggested in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz
    Something like this:
    # Two ethernet interfaces, one connected to a trusted LAN, the other to
    # the untrusted Internet, identified by MAC address rather than
    # interface
    # name:
    #
    # auto eth0 eth1
    # mapping eth0 eth1
    # script /path/to/get-mac-address.sh
    # map 11:22:33:44:55:66 lan
    # map AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF internet
    # iface lan inet static
    # address 192.168.42.1
    # netmask 255.255.255.0
    # pre-up /usr/local/sbin/enable-masq $IFACE
    # iface internet inet dhcp
    # pre-up /usr/local/sbin/firewall $IFACE

      Good luck!
