If you're using modules you can force the order for two different
ethernet cards like I have below. I'm using a 3Com and a Netgear card
and wanted them in a specific order for my home firewall. Here's the
file and lines I added. Note that the "3c509" and "tulip" are module
names. You can get those names with a "/sbin/lsmod" command once the
cards are working.
file: "/etc/modules.conf"
alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 tulip
