Does is work, if you rename the devices to something else than ethX?

Negative:
# ip link set eth0 name krtek
# ip link set krtek name jezek
RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory

This is a command sequence you type manually?

Yea, and it is working with 3.3.0-rc1-next-20120124_64+. Not with
3.3.0-rc1-next-20120131_64+.

You are sure that userspace is not working in the background,
triggered by uevents, and comes into your way here?

Note that krtek exists after the first command. But cannot be renamed
further.

thanks,
