Can't do it with 'normal' tools. The detection and allocation of ethernet
devices is very dumb, IMHO.
You can do it by using 'ip' from package iproute2 insteadt of ifconfig
something like this:
load your eepro100 module, you end up with eth0 and eth1
command 'ip link set eth1 name eth2' should do the trick
Check the man page and documentation, this is from memory
Havn't tryed it, maybe it blows up your box :)
Cheers..
