I did some reading. It appears that udev does the device switching. But
if desired, the devices can be tied to a specific mac address.

See this old thread --notice what they say about /etc/modprobe.conf.

Read this Debian related page:  http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/udev.htm

I don't now whether the problem is with F8 only. I haven't tried all
