If thats the case, the following code might help out. It loads a collection by an attribute like name or sku.

$collectionData = Mage::getModel('modelname')->getCollection()->addFieldToFilter('attribute', 'attribute value');

Afterwards, it is possible to iterate over the collection, get the id and load the model using that id.
