identifiers of ethernet cards
I have a server with two ethernet cards. Card A is the built-in (included into the same motherbaord) and card B is a PCI additional card.
When I re-install the server I does not have control about which of them is going to be identified as eth0 or eth1. Sometimes the eth0 os card A but sometimes eth0 is the card B.
Is there any way to control this situation so that, the eth0 always be the card A, and eth1 always be card B?

Re: identifiers of ethernet cards
You have no control.
It doesn't even seem to make sense.
A way to gain some control is to remove the add in card, install the OS and then put the add in card later.
This will usually get you built in as eth0 and the add in as eth1

HWADDR=aa.bb.cc.dd.ee
Did work for me using the rc.local and invoking the ifconfig command.

Re: identifiers of ethernet cards
are you still using a 2.4 kernel? afaik the init order of pci devices should always be the same in 2.6 (if you do not move them around).
