I'm not sure if you're using NetworkManager or configuring your own
interfaces. In NetworkManager, I see how to look up which MAC address
is associated with which ethernet device (eth0, eth1, etc), but I
don't see any way to set these associations.
If you're doing your configuration via /etc/network/interfaces, you
can add a 'hwaddress' stanza in the configuration for either a
'static' or 'dhcp' interface. I think you should be able to use that
to control which device becomes eth0, eth1, etc.
