I have had similar trouble on RedHat when we swap cards for testing. The
old config in the system makes the new card be seen as #1 when it is
really #0 because its the only one there.

Be nice if someone out there has a suggestion of how to do this. The
routing to the network also vanishes when we do this, but the old card
config stays so you have to delete it.
