It's the kernel - It assigns eth devices in the order you register them, 
so eth0 and eth1 on the command line means nothing. However, I've found 
with UML that it'll always assign them in the same order, so eth0 will 
always be eth0, even if you do 'eth7='

You can use 'nameif' to set interface names based on MAC address, which 
may be more useful.
