    Yeap, I have the same situation on a system with that chip. What happens
    is that eth0 and eth1 simply "swaps places" on some boots (integrated
    SiS900 and a Intel Etherexpress Pro 100S) i.e. it seem to initialize the
    devices in the wrong order sometimes. Personally I couldn't be bothered
    in finding a real solution, so I just scripted to have the system reboot
    if eth0 did not come up with the MAC-address it was supposed to have.
    Ugly solution, but workable.. change MAC's as needed.

    #!/bin/bash
    ETH0MAC="AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA"
    REALMAC0="$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth0 | awk '$0 ~ /HWaddr/ {print
    $NF}')"
    ETH1MAC="BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB"
    REALMAC1="$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth1 | awk '$0 ~ /HWaddr/ {print
    $NF}')"

    if [ "$ETH0MAC" != "$REALMAC0" ]
    then
            echo "REBOOTING DUE TO MAC MISSMATCH"
            sleep 3
            /sbin/reboot
    fi

    if [ "$ETH1MAC" != "$REALMAC1" ]
    then
            echo "REBOOTING DUE TO MAC MISSMATCH"
            sleep 3
           /sbin/reboot
    fi
