I have 5 nics in a box, ISA 3Com units with pnp disabled. When you are
using the same driver for multiple NICs, they get allocated to interfaces
with the lowest MAC address getting eth0, etc. up the line. At least this
is the way the 3Com driver works on ISA NICs.
Once you know the MAC address o

You can pass kernel parameters in during boot for this.
This is based on my vague memory and guess ...
