Warning: Hack follows.
You could try installing 'ifrename' and then create a startup script
that calls it before the interfaces are brought up. I'd suggest
finding the hardware address of each nic and then naming the
interfaces after them in some way (ie: eth00132096C267). Then there'd
be no doubt which interface was which.
Of course, it could be a real pain if you ever installed a new NIC.
Maybe it'd be better to use 'lspci' to decide the name of the NIC. I
dunno. Lots of options here.
