ethx devices are assigned as the driver detects devices. Most PCI
drivers detect devices in PCI order. Use lspci for that.

If you are running a 2.2.x kernel, make sure it has IP aliasing
enabled in the kernel config. If you are running 2.4.x, you don't
need aliases; interfaces can be assigned multiple IP addresses. I
prefer the second method as it is more intuitive. Install the
iproute2 utilities (package "iproute"), and issue a command like
ip addr add 192.168.0.2 dev eth0
You can issue ip commands (adding addresses, routes, etc.) from a
stand-alone script or via the "up" directive in /etc/interfaces . See
interfaces(5).
The ip command has command line help; I recommend printing the
PostScript manual as well. If you've ever used a Cisco router some of
the syntax will look familiar.

Ok, you want iproute2 then :-) Even though all the interfaces are
virtual, linux shouldn't care.
