This is true for network, sound, and other cards. Sometimes people have 2 cards that use the SAME kernel modules and have this problem also. So one approach is to add UDEV rules that look for a distinct property and create a distinct device (card 1=eth0, card 2=eth1). If the udev rules are not working, you may try a crude method like renaming or removing the modules. e.g. if the modules is called 'ethernet.ko', name it 'ethernet.ko.bad'. This will make the kernel not find it and thus will not load it. But this is one solution. The udev rule is the best way.
