By appending the following lines to my /etc/modules.d/alias file, I
managed to consistently make eth0 my wired card and eth1 my WLAN card:
# Network
alias eth0 eepro100
alias eth1 orinoco_cs
All is well, and things work the way I want them to now.
I emerged a package called net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng that may allow to
me to remove the calls to iwconfig from my /etc/init.d/net.eth1 file.
