AFAIK there isn't a way to tell that, but if your network drivers are
all modules, you can prompt the system to always load rtl8139 for eth0
anda different module for eth1. You do this by adding aliases to
/etc/modutils/aliases and running update-module.
This is what I have on my firewall.
alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 3c509
