Well, apparently I'm the 1 in 1000, because mine already has these rules,  
the timestamp on that file is almost two years old, but occasionally the  
kernel still boots with the ports out of order. Pulling the MAC addresses  
out of the ifcfg files would probably mean that the public IP address would  
come up on my LAN port, and my Internet port get 192.168.0.1, which isn't  
really better than not having those ports come up at all.

# cat 70-persistent-net.rules

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8169 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:21:2f: 
31:4e:dd", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.

# PCI device 0x1969:0x1063 (atl1c)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address} 
=="bc:ae:c5:49:b9:3d", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",  
NAME="eth0"
