Yust for others that will have a similar problem.

I had a deeper look at

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rc.conf#Networking

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev#Mixed_Up_Devices.2C_Sound.2FNetwork_Cards_Changing_Order_Each_Boot

and setup a udev rule to get fixed devices. Now it works perfect as I
expect.

The Archwiki is always a good place to look at. ;)
