You can put HWADDR into the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file to
bind the label to that device.

Subject: [OT] Binding A Second NIC to A Device
A slightly off topic question here.
How do I force one NIC to be eth0 and the other to be eth1?
I've got a Dell 2450 with a built-in Intel Pro/100. I need to add a
second NIC to the system for backing-up our data, so we purchased an
Intel Pro/100 card. Every time I install this card, Linux (RedHat 7.3)
insists on forcing the new card to be eth0 and the built-in to be eth1.
This completely screws up the networking to the system due to ARP
issues. Is there any way I can force the built-in to be eth0 and the
new card to be eth1?
I must be searching for the wrong terms or looking in the wrong places -
I can't find an answer or even a hint towards an answer anywhere on the
Internet.
Thanks,
