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