There are a couple ways.
The brute force way is to physically remove all NICs, reboot, and allow Kudzu to remove configs for all three. Then reinstall the cards, allow Kudzu to reconfigure the cards, and enter the correct IP addresses, etc.
The better way is to edit the ifcfg-ethx files which are located in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. The sample (filename = ifcfg-eth0) below shows what I am talking about.
# Realtek|RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
HWADDR=00:50:8D:4A:0C:30
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
You may also have to change the entries in /etc/modprobe.conf (/etc/modules.conf) to have the correct alias for each card. That way the proper ethX name is assigned for the adapter.

To make a long story short I have installed/re-installed various NIC's in my FC Box, and now I am in a position where I have and eth1, eth2, eth4
Is there a way, and more so what is the best way to re-order those NIC's so I again have an eth0, eht1, eth2
