Thank you for your replies:
Thanks to Richard and Jerome I found the issue was
with UDEV. I modified the UDEV rules in
/etc/udev/rules.d. I added a line in 10-local.rules as
such:
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{vendor}=="3Com Corporation",
NAME:="eth0"
This automatically configures the first 3Com card it
sees as eth0. You also have to take out any defined
card definitions in 30-net_persistent_names.rules.
