I can confirm this. I've been noticing it over the last couple of weeks
with a Sony Vaio VGN-FE41Z laptop that has an internal Intel Pro 100/VE
and an external Intel 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller in the docking
station.
I first noticed that nmapplet showed the names of these two devices
transposed. Looking today I noticed that the Gigabit interface has the
name of the Pro 100, but the Pro 100 just shows "eth1".
I've attached a screenshot.
