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.
