This is even more painfull if you are playing with a laptop pcmcia cards and cards in a docking station. I've got 100vg in the docking station and wavelan as pcmcia. Depending on the mood of the day, either one could be eth0. The solution, for me, was to modify the driver :
alias wavelan eth3 option wavelan name=eth3 alias eth2 hp100 options hp100 hp100_name=eth2
eth0 and eth1 are reserved for pcmcia.

P.S. : The modification of the driver is trivial (see hp100 & wavelan)
