Ipcop is 2.4.31 and doesn't include udev. I therefore think you have to control the order in which the modules are inserted. you may be able to manage this in /etc/modules.conf. For identical cards they should be allocated eth devices in the order they appear on the pci bus. I think. Anyway this might be a better question for the ipcop mailing list? They may come across this problem more regularly.
