I use UDEV to rename my ethernet interfaces, it might work for PPP
stuff, I don't know. This was to work around a "feature" where different
kernel versions found the physical interfaces on my motherboard in a
different order, so eth0 moved around. UDEV let me tie the name to the
MAC address and keep things stable.
The procedure is at
