make menuconfig
See: Networking Utilities -> nameif --> Help

CONFIG_NAMEIF:

Naming Interfaces based on MAC address.
Renamed interfaces MUST be in the down state.
It is possible to use file (default: /etc/mactab)
with list of new interface names and MACs.
File format:
new_if_name    XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Maximum interface name length: IF_NAMESIZE = 16

Is something incorrect?
