network issue

I have a problem with my network i have a Cisco 350 PCMCIA wirless card
and a built in e100 network card. When linux starts after it has loaded
the PC card services and the wireless card starts working it goes ahead
and configures the network. For some reason my wireless is assigned to
eth0 which is used for the Ethernet card. What i wanna know is if that's
how it's suppose to work. Anytime i open the network configuration in
RedHat 9 it tells me that the wireless card is assigned to eth0 which is
the address for the Ethernet card. The wireless works fine otherwise. I
want to be able to tell the wireless to take address eth1 not eth0 as it
should. With my current configuration i can't use both wireless and
wired simultaneously. 

Thanks
