This may not be an option if he has an ISA 10Mb card and a PCI 100Mb card.
The PCI card may just be recognized SOONER.... in which case, he somehow
needs to bring up eth1 before eth0... and how he does that, I don't know.
That said, 100Mb cards are CHEAP... he could probably go ahead and get
a PCI 100Mb card to take care of the problem for ~$20.

Then you need to physically swap the cards.
