Have a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules. There you will
find something like 

###
PCI device 0x10de:0x03ef (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:19:66:3e:7d:bd",
NAME="eth0"
###

Debian/UDEV "holds" the MAC-addresses to assign the "correct" eth-device
number e.g. eth0 to always the same card. So if you remove the card you
have to remove the named file or better move it to another place for
testing. It will be recreated after you reboot your system if not
present. I assume you are using Debian Etch.
