USB NIC adaptor strange behavior

I have a system that has an onboard NIC and a USB NIC and both
work as expected with one exception. When I run ifconfig it shows
the onboard NIC as eth0 and the USB NIC as eth1. If I disconnect
the USB NIC by unplugging it from the USB bus I loose all network
connectivity to the box. If I run ifconfig, it shows *eth0* (the
onboard NIC) down and *eth1* (the USB NIC) still up and configured
even though it was the one disconnected. Anyone have any ideas
where I should start looking for the problem. I'm not real familiar
with hotplug so I'm not sure where to start looking.
