I am running two PCI Netgears in my setup and just setup one at a time.
Mark the one in back if don't intend to leave it sit in one spot for long
time that way when you hook up the nex ttime you wont have to figure out
which is which...

However luck of the draw may be the first one in the bus(slosest to AGP or
processor) may just as well be the eth0 your after.
