I don't want to introduce FUD but I should say I am really unsure what will
happen with different kernel and udev versions.

Think to a nic actually supported by e1000, but that may be supported by e1000e
only in the futur (the new e1000 with pci-x only cards), or the actual mess
between 8139too and 8139cp that share the same PID/VID with two differents
drivers.

We really should have more care there (probably save MAC address and have a big
warning when saved MAC does not match interface MAC).
I should say even the MAC address of my alpha machine has changed when upgrading
from debian 2.4.27 to debian 2.6.18 kernel (there was a bug with an extra 0 in
front and last character was missing). As the IP given by dhcp depend of the
MAC, the machine did not receive the same address, so I can't miss something has
changed.
