Well, on the kernel side ordering should stay the same,
assuming you
* aren't physically moving NICs in PCI slots, and
* don't flip between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (those two enumerate
PCI devices in different order, use pci=bfsort to get 2.4
behaviour)
* and don't change =y/=m settings of NIC modules
Userspace (read: udev) on modern distros will try to rename
NICs back looking at their MACs. You can look at
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (or how it's called).
