If you have two NICs and use modules, in /etc/modules:
ne io=0x300,0x320
Assuming that those are your BIOS adresses.

ifconfig is used for setting which IP number goes to which ethercard.
If you need a particular card to become eth0 or eth1, you'd need to do
it on the card's configuration program (which runs on DOS I presume);
just set a BIOS address for each card, and the lower hex (?) number will
become eth0 (ie: it doesn't matter if you say: "ne io=0x320,0x300",
because the 0x300 will be probed first and it'll be eth0.
