[SOLVED] broadcom-wl on MBP (interface name changing after sleep)

I load wl module to get the wireless working.

The first problem is that thought the wireless works, its detected as eth1.(which is damn odd).
Secondly, when I resume from sleep, the eth0 (the real ethernet) & eth1(wireless) gets swapped.

How can solve these issues?

Relevant details:-

skr@skr-MBP-archlinux ~ $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl.conf 
blacklist b43
blacklist bcma
blacklist ssb
skr@skr-MBP-archlinux ~ $ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep -ie modules
# MODULES: Modules to load at boot-up. Blacklisting is no longer supported.
MODULES=(nvidia_bl fuse wl acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave)
skr@skr-MBP-archlinux ~ $

Used the udev method by creating this file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules with contents

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="mac-addr1", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="mac-addr2", NAME="wlan0"

to solve the problem. Thanks.
