Since hotplug is used by K12LTSP to name the interfaces on the server
and hotplug uses ifrename if availible, all you need to do is create the
file "/etc/iftab" with the two lines:

eth0  mac <eth0 mac address>
eth1  mac <eth1 mac address>

And hotplug/ifrename should take care of the rest.  The easiest way to
ensure these changes take effect is to reboot after making them.

For more details of the /etc/iftab file, "man iftab".
