You can let udev assign persistant names to your network interfaces.

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
KERNEL=="eth*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1c:25:1a:ee:0c", NAME="lan0"
KERNEL=="wlan*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1e:4c:37:39:41", NAME="wlan0"

Then create the appropriate symlinks for them in /etc/init.d.

HTH...
