The archives seem to suggest fiddling with udev to be the answer.  So I modify /etc/udev/rules.d/60-net (or something) and add a few rules found in an ancient example (those aren't my mac addresses): KERNEL=="eth?", SYSFS{address}=="00:37:e9:17:64:af", NAME="eth0"  # MAC of first NIC in lowercase KERNEL=="eth?", SYSFS{address}=="00:21:e9:17:64:b5", NAME="eth1"  # MAC of second NIC in lowercase

Now, all three network cards get assigned as eth0! eth1 and eth2 are no longer found. The pci-express nics (onboard) get detected first, and the pci nic is last, so it ends up "owning" the eth0 alias.

Changing SYSFS to ATTR should do it.
