Not sure if it has been mentioned already, but you can fix the order
using udev. In my case I created the file
'/etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules' which contained (for a 2 NIC machine):
KERNEL=="eth?", SYSFS{address}=="00:0e:7f:f0:d2:5b", NAME="eth0" # tg3
KERNEL=="eth?", SYSFS{address}=="00:0e:7f:f0:d2:5a", NAME="eth1" # tg3
Now the '...5b' MAC address is always eth0, and likewise '...5a' is
always eth1. I don't use the HWADDR option in the ifcfg- files, yet
bonding works fine.
