Hi.

I've got a T41 laptop, and I'm using suse 9.2 --- now, I always had two
ethernet interfaces, eth0 which was the Intel Pro/1000 and eth1, the
AIRO wireless.

After a system hang or when I forget the laptop without power
connections, at the reboot I find always the eth0/1 swapped, so 0 is
airo and 1 is intel... Why??? Moreover, now it's been a long time, more
than a week that after many reboots the configuration won't change, I
still have eth0 airo and eth1 intel...

Can you tell me why and how do I change and/or prevent this?
