I believe the network devices are assigned in the same sequence as the relative kernel modules are loaded and within the same module in accordance to their MAC addresses.
A fast & dirty solution that *might* work would be to define specifically in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 the necessary modules rather than rely on coldplug firing them up.

Another hack would be to build one of the drivers into the kernel instead of as a module - this one should always be detected first and thus be eth0
Hope that helps
