Couple of things here
1 modprobe config file (location depends on distro)
Make sure you set the driver to the correct device
2 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
Match the DEVICE= and HWADDR= lines listed in these files with those
listed in modprobe config file.
My advice would be to do the following
1 remove any driver lines in modprobe files
2 remove all HWADDR and DEVICE lines from the ifcfg files
3 reboot
4 Determine which order the devices are detected first (should be the
onboard eth0)
5 Determine what needs to be done from there.....

What distro is it? I RH distros you can stick the MAC address on the
interface configuration file under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*

G'day,
I have a rather weird problem. We've installed a router device at one of
our customers; it is a Via motherboard and has therefore a Via Rhine
network interface on the motherboard (eth0) and a Realtek 8139 network
interface on a PCI card. For some reason, the drivers for the two network
interfaces seem to spontaneously invert, with the Realtek driver applying
itself to the Via port (and usually working OK!) and the Rhine driver to
the Realtek port (and sometimes not working - but sometimes working as
well). This does not follow any outside action, although the customer has
learned that rebooting the system (cleanly) solves any non-working
interface issue.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
