I have two network cards, on built-in to my motherboard, and a PCI one. For

internet.
They both work, but the problem is I can't specify which one is eth0 and eth1,
and occasionally they'll switch. In /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf
(I'm not sure of the difference of these files) I have the lines:
alias eth0 e100
alias eth1 8139too
This is what I'd like them set up to be.
Any ideas why it's not listening to me?

Having run multiple card machines for several years the only issue in
setting the card order is modules.conf and now moddrobe.conf.
From my modules.conf;
alias eth0 ne2k-pci
alias eth1 8139too
And from /etc/modprobe.conf.dist;
alias eth0 ne2k-pci
alias eth1 8139too
Also as said before clean/fix tie ifcfg.ethx files also.
I have both cards the same type. What now?
They don't switch :-)
