2 NIC's, assigned in wrong order

[Dean Allen Provins <provinsd@telusplanet.net>]

Hello:

I have two Ethernet cards (NICs) in a PII-300.  The first recognized is
an NE2000 ISA clone at IRQ10, and the second is a PCI at (shared) IRQ
12.

I would like the second (the PCI) to be assigned as ETH0, and the first
(ISA) to be ETH1.

I've fiddled with the ether= append line for the kernel, and also the
contents of the interfaces file in /etc/network to no avail.

Anyone know how to force the assignment without resorting to "ifconfig"
and "route" directly?

Dean
