force NIC cards to eth1 or eth0

[plabonte at gmail.com]

I have a box with two nic cards.

Ex:
NIC card 1, eth0, static ip 10.10.0.1
NIC card 2, eth1, static ip 192.168.0.1

Now it has been this way for a while...

I have rebooted recently and now

and the NIC/eth assignements are flipped...

Is there a way to force NIC1 to remain as eth0 and NIC2 as eth1?

Thanks.
