ETH Interface names

First off Ubuntu rocks!! I'm planning to switch in a couple of weeks my 
workstation (FC1) and notebook (FC2). Right now I'm running it on a 
second partition trying to learn some specific Debian/Ubuntu commands 
like apt, rc.update.d, etc.

I'm having a very simple problem, my workstation has two network 
interfaces (forcedeth & ne2k-pci drivers), under FC1 eth0=ne2k-pci and 
eth1=forcedeath (actually I use the nvnet driver in FC1), but under 
Ubuntu it's the opposite (eth0=forcedeth & eth1=ne2k-pci); I want to 
revert this and keep the FC naming, any suggestions/comments ? Why does 
this happens ? Another thing is that if I don't see eth0 from GNOME's 
'Network Settings', just eth1.

Thanks in advance,
JC.
