Ebox with 5 NIC's haveing problems

[poundjd]

OK, I bought a 4 port nic and there is a nic on the mb. 
I have loaded ubuntu + ebox at least 5 times.  I never get a consistent arrangement of eln0 on the mother board nic interface and the 4 nic's on the card being 1-4.  The mb nic just seams to show up where ever it wants to from boot to boot.  Am I missing something really fundamental here?  Please help;

Is there some configuration file that I have to set to make the mb nic show up as eln0?

Well if you're installing on debian/ubuntu then udev should make sure that all the nics get assigned the same numbers...
