That's easy to fix:

Run "/sbin/ifconfig" and find out the MAC address of the network interface 
that's supposed to be eth0.

Note the MAC address down.

Then edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and add the following 
line:

HWADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00

Replace "00:00:00:00:00:00" with the correct MAC address of the interface 
that's supposed to be eth0.

That will make sure that eth0 will always be the NIC with the specified MAC 
address.

That works on BlueQuartz, BlueOnyx and Aventurin{e} and pretty much any Linux 
flavour that uses network config files in the style of /etc/sysconfig/network-
scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
