But that's essentially what you'd need to do. ... and going a bit deeper, you'd probably want to remove the adapter-->enX mapping (something that would best be followed by a reboot).

Can you say more about the adaptor->enX mapping?
How would I remove that, and under what conditions would a reboot really be necessary?

For the current implementation we keep track of the network interface adaptors we've seen in the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ NetworkInterfaces.plist file. The file is read in by configd's InterfaceNamer.bundle at startup. When a new interface is detected we update (write) the file and because we don't check to see if you've made changes behind our back the only way to have the plugin start fresh is to reboot (or restart configd which has other implications on a running system).

how about a different approach to use always the same USB to ethernet adaptor. So wherever this person goes, he takes his USB to ethernet adaptors and only plug an ethernet in instead of plugging an USB in?

The potential client is a dental lab. The fewer wires they have to sterilize, the less the chance of cross-contamination and infection transmission. If having a single point of connection wasn't a requirement, they could just use Ethernet built-in.

And going wireless isn't an option?
