problem by simply swapping the order of the cards on the bus.  As you point 
out, the assignments are made when the drivers discover the cards, in the 
order in which the drivers are invoked, so swapping only works when all the 
cards use the same driver.

This didn't work for me.  Instead I just plugged in another Gbit card instead 
of the 100Mbs one and everything was ok.  A bit annoying having to do that 
but I'm sick and tired of fighting with the linux device naming scheme.
