Thank you for your answer. I will look it up.
I found this useful article:
Linux Enumeration of NICs
http://linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/nic-enum-whitepaper-v4.pdf
The author, a Dell employee, made a script to automate the process of
ordering the NICs. He also gives tips to manually solve this recurring
problem.
