I used a PCMCIA-based nic when I went to hotels and such, but everytime, I'd have to comment-out my home network settings...really irritating.
I think I'm going to try this out and see if I can get it to work...

For example, one might have:
alias eth0 le alias eth1 hme
To swap assignment, simply change to:
alias eth0 hme alias eth1 le
If they are using same driver, modprobe.conf will read something like this:
alias eth0 hme alias eht1 hme
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.
