I can confirm that this also occurs in my installation:
two NICs and i want to set up them with two different static ips.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.42.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
This is the output of the kernel during boot:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dmesg | grep eth
[ 57.719169] eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xe0846f00, 00:08:54:07:d4:0f, IRQ 16
[ 57.719173] eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D'

[ 3752.803508] eth0: no IPv6 routers present
As you can see, the Realtek card is eth0 and the VIA card is eth1. But when the
network is started, the card names are different.
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:6A:CC:81:23
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:54:07:D4:0F
Now eth1 is gone and eth2 is the Realtek card and eth0 is the VIA card.
