When my machine installs (CentOS 6.3) the two network cards are getting reversed. The PCI card is getting eth0 and the motherboard is getting eth1. I would like them in reverse order to keep things the same as they used to be.

How can I easily tell these two to reverse?

Generate the 70-persistent-net-rules with motherboard eth0 first then the PCI slot?

I don't think you can always count on the detection order - so blindly automating a swap is probably a bad idea. Also, you are going to need the right MAC addresses in your ifcfg-eth? files to keep them nailed down.
