If its the same card, it usually won't move as it is binded by modules.conf (unless a kudzu mess with it). But, if you have the same card thats usually what happened as they both have the same modules. Usually, In my experience, linux assign card by slot position (the one on top usually gets assign eth0 or vice versa)
Others may suggest the resources your card has acquired would determine its eth*
I'm not sure if there is a way to bind it to its MAC.?
peace
