Possible to have unique ethx for laptop with one CardBus slot, wireless and wired NICs?

I have a laptop with one CardBus slot. It is running Fedora Core 2
(kernel-2.6). I have one wireless CardBus and one wired CardBus
network adapters. When I insert each one (not at the same time), they
both appear as eth0 when I do `dmesg`.

Is there a way I can make the wired eth0 and the wireless eth1? I
have a feeling I cannot do this because the kernel assigns anything in
that CardBus slot to eth0.

I already tried editting /etc/modprobe.conf with:
alias eth0 3c95x
alias eth1 prism54

That did not work. Thanks for any help!
