Well, if slot one is the closest one to the power suply, then it is
probably eth0. At least that is how most motherboards do it. AS for
how to check it - swap the cables plugged into the NICs,, and reboot. If
it works, you are all set. If for some reasion you can not switch
cables, you can swap the two cards around. Another way to check is to
watch to see what NIC has trafic when it is trying to get the IP address
from your cable "modem".
Another way to check is to boot with the one NIC, run ifconfig and copy
down the hardware address. Then put the second NIC back in, and see if
the hardware address matches eth0 or eth1. (By hardware address, I mean
"HWaddr 00:A0:CC:3A:F1:03" from the output of ifconfig. Your numbers
will be different.)
