You did not specify which driver is being used for the onboard NIC's, and more
specifically, whether it is the same, or not.
One way is the HWADDR mentioned in the other responses.
Another way, that I like, works quite well, IF the onboard NIC REQUIRES a
DIFFERENT driver than the other NIC's on your system. If that happens to be the
case, then simply rebuild the initrd with the desired NIC driver in it. That
driver will load BEFORE the other drivers (as referenced in /etc/modprobe.conf).
works for me.
