I have a laptop, a wired network card that takes up both pcmcia slots
and a wireless network card.  I'm trying to figure out how to set these
up as seamlessly as possible.  I can't have them both installed at the
same time because they won't fit, and when I take one out and put in the
other, linux has an idenity crisis.

I'm setting this up using the RH8 network control panel which may be
part of my problem.  I'm trying to use this because I want to set up
different network profiles.

The problem is that it always thinks that the card that is installed is
supposed to be eth0. but the two cards use different kernel modules and
the entry in /etc/modules.conf says that eth0 uses the module for
whatever card I have installed last.

Can I modify the configuration so it will know to load the proper kernel
module and not have one hard coded into modules.conf?  Or can I
configure pcmcia so that when the wired net card is removed and the
wireless card is installed to make it eth1?
