This is not just a 2.4 vs. 2.6 issue. One of my laptops (Kubuntu Dapper) does this on reboots. Sometimes the Ethernet comes up as eth2 and the Wifi as eth3, and sometimes it's the other way around. No idea what happened to eth0 and eth1. Most annoying, because they are set up differently, and sometimes the WiFi picks up a neighbor's unsecured access point (which broadcasts the station id) rather than my own...

I just had a weird problem. I have a system with 2 ethernet cards (one intel e1000 on-board) and one realtek PCI running debian. If I boot the 2.4 kernel eth0 is the on-board intel e1000 and the realtek is eth1. If I boot the 2.6 kernel eth0 is the realtek and eth1 is the intel.
Why would this happen? Is there a way to insure that a specific adapter comes up with a specified designation? this could be a real problem for a system with multiple cards with different networks.
