kThe MAC address is usually listed on the baord -- I often 
write the last 2 pairs on a paper label, and stick it on the 
outside of the case.
They will 'move around' and cannot reliably be 'nailed down' 
to detect in a fixed sequence, without using the trick of 
having a different driver for each -- 
If there IS a different driver for each, set up modules.conf, 
and insmod and bring up the interfaces in the desired order.
