The NIC module "tg3" loads so far but assigns the ethernet devices (eth0/eth1) randomly to the NICs.

Any help/suggestions ?
If it really does it randomly, you could simply repeatedly start and stop the driver until it gets them the right way around. On average, it'll take you only two attempts (the worst case is pretty bad 8-)
There is a way to assign a name to the MAC. Use the nameif command in your /etc/network/interfaces as follow:
As an example, I've an interface I've given the name "lan" and it is associated to the "00:00:B4:BB:46:E9" MAC address
iface lan inet static pre-up nameif lan 00:00:B4:BB:46:E9 address 192.168.0.253 netmask 255.255.255.0
then "ifconfig lan <what_you_want> works
nameif is part of the package net-tools
