I have a laptop that will be a wireless access point, router, firewall. I will 
be filtering packets with iptables. My iptables script relies on 
eth0,eth1,eth2 being connected to the correct internal,wireless,external 
networks. With PCMCIA this becomes a problem as it is possible that eth1, and 
eth2 could be the opposite of what I expect if the cards are initialised in 
the wrong order. Does anyone have a good solution to this?
