usb0 vs eth0

Hello.

When I plug FR it appears as eth0 instead of usb0.
According to http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/ I have to "set the local
assignment bit, 0x02 in the first octet, to ensure it still uses a name
like usb0 not eth0".

Do you know what does it mean?
I'd like FR to always appear as usb0 so it wouldn't interfere with real
ethernet interfaces.

thanks,
Max.
