Hi,

a.  There are ways to make & keep stable network interface names (search
for "stable network interface names in linux") regardless of where the
network interfaces are "found."

b.  The problem that you describe sounds more like a PCI issue.
You could ask about it on the linux-pci@...r.kernel.org mailing list.
