[SOLVED] Network interface names change randomly at boot

I have two network interfaces, an intel ipw2200 powered wifi card (eth0), and a normal ethernet adapter (eth1).

However, on boot, they randomly switch names: sometimes Intel pro shows up as eth1, other times as eth0, same goes for the normal ethernet.

How would I go about fixing that so that the interface names are preserved on reboot?
