[SOLVED] Random order network cards

Dear archies,

my coumputer has 2 network cards on motherboard (P5Q-E). But I have cable only in one. Why my computer in boot process sometimes take eth0 and sometimes eth1. I mean, that eth0 link to my first network connector on mother board, eth1 to my second connector and sometimes reverse (eht0 to second network card, eth1 to first). I mean that this causes udev (detecting hardware at booting). How I can fix it please?

My rc.conf

#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
#
# See 'man 5 rc.conf' for more details
#

# LOCALIZATION
# ------------
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Bratislava"
KEYMAP="sk-qwertz"
CONSOLEFONT="lat2-16"
CONSOLEMAP="8859-2"
LOCALE="sk_SK.UTF8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="yes"
USECOLOR="yes"

# HARDWARE
# --------
MODULES=(fuse vboxdrv)
USEDMRAID="no"
USEBTRFS="no"
USELVM="no"

# NETWORKING
# ----------
HOSTNAME="bella"

interface=

gateway=

NETWORK_PERSIST="no"
NETWORKS=(eth0 eth1)


# DAEMONS
# -------
#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network crond gpm alsa dbus net-profiles avahi-daemon lxdm httpd postgresql)

I tried resolve this by network-profiles but no effect I have this problem after installation (from first boot). Yes, I can disable one network card in BIOS but I think that this is not clear solution. Clear solution is resolve it in OS. Thanks
