rhel4 detects NICs in reverse on a 2950

[G-man]

Anyone else having the problem of the network cards being detected in
reverse on a 2950? Took a little while to figure out when kickstarting
rhel4u4 via pxe. eth0 is actally the NIC marked "2" on the back of the
computer. I would expect eth0 to be the one marked "1".

Any ideas how I can fix this? I can set HWADDR in ifcfg-eth0 post
install, but that is more of a bandaid  fix.
