I now have the ethernet cards to the point where if all the ethernet
cards are down an /etc/init.d/network start will start them with the
correct names. I'm not sure how I did it, I think I deleted all the
entries in system-config-network's hardware menu, then edited, then
readded them.
I checked HWADDR in the ifcfg-ethX files and they are correct, as are
the entries in hwconf now. However when I boot, it still boots up eth1
(PCMCIA) as eth0, then tries to boot up eth1 as eth1, which it can't
rename it because the device is busy. I haven't been able to replicate
this outside of a clean boot, every time I boot I have to "ifconfig eth0
down" (standard ifdown doesn't work because HWADDR is set and the wrong
card is currently eth0). Then every time I use ifup, ifdown or
init.d/networking it works fine. I also checked modprobe.conf, I can
remove all kernel modules and do "modprobe eth0" and it loads the right
driver and the right card is eth0. Here is the error from my boot.log
