This is udev loading the modules for your network cards in a different order on each boot.
Manually load the modules in the correct order using the MODULES array in your /etc/rc.conf file.

Or see this for an alternative method using udev.rules

I never liked the wireless cards being named ethX. Fortunately I haven't run into that problem, as the Madwifi driver names it's if's athX.
So yeah, like the udev rules idea. Too bad my linksys doesn't run udev

I have this problem too. I just put two network settings in the rc.conf, but of course that's not very reliable.
Also, am I right or wrong in thinking that with the Thinkpads (I have a T40, fairly old) you can't have wireless and wired up at the same time? I'm sure I had it working on my desktop. Or at least I was able to have two network devices (eth0, ath0) which I could switch between easily.
I'll check out those links above, cheers.

I've got a T30 and I can use wireless and wired at the same time. My wired is the onboard NIC, and my wireless is a cardbus card.
