Aleksandar,

I have tried making the swap in the modprobe.conf file and had no luck
with it. After reboot, it came back the same way. This was with two
different nics.

I have eth0 as sk98lin and eth1 as 8139too, but originally they were
reversed. Originally, I tried swapping them, but something else was
causing them to keep coming back so that eth0 was the 8139. The
solution I provided earlier was the only way I could get it to work
and stay through reboots.

I'm sure there are other ways to do it (besides swapping cables) but
that was what worked for me.
