If they use different drivers, and are compiled in the kenel as
modules, you can control the order they are modproped in. (order in
/etc/modules or whereever they are being loaded.) If one compiled in
the kenel and the other a module, the order is obvious. If all are
compiled in, the kernel probing order determines it.
If they use the same driver, I think the driver scanning order
determines it. This should be consistant, but what order is used is
not obvious. It may even be affected by the presense/absence of other
cards in other slots. On my system with a 3c905b card and a 3c905? on
the motherboard, the motherboard is eth1.
