I'm using Fedora, and I use the file /etc/modprobe.conf to say, e.g.,
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 e100
alias eth2 3c59x
This only works if you have three entirely separate NIC chipsets that you
can map to particular ports. If you have a four port tulip card in there,
you still won't be setting eth0 to a particular port. ifrename / iftab is
the best way to do it at the port / MAC level.
If I have the same NIC chipsets, with Fedora, I use the option on
/etc/syconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0, namely:
.....
HWADDR=00:0A:CC:51:67:7D
.....
in combination with my /etc/modprobe.conf
