multiple nics changing order every reboot.

I have a PowerEdge 2850 running esx 3.5. The server has two Ethernet cards. The problem is anytime I reboot the Ethernet cards change order. Eth0 becomes eth1 under Linux vm's, and the same happens in Windows vm’s as well. Only way to fix is to psychically swap the cables at the switches.

Is there some way to set them so they don’t swap like this?

ESX is at the default settings.
