Subject: origin of __tmp1930643048 network device name: kernel-space or user-space

dear all,
I'm trying to track down a problem on a Sun V40Z server with 4 network
devices grabbing random ethX device names. now, trying to force the
device names to what I want, I got a __tmpXXXXX form of device name,
which I think is a half-configured device... but which piece of
software is to blame ??? kernel, udev, hotplug

it is a Fedora Core 6, fully updated (kernel-2.6.22.2-42.fc6
udev-095-17.fc6.x86_64)

ifconfig reports it as:
