Since FC3 uses udev by default, I think you can write a udev
script. I'm not sure if you can ensure that a specific device is
always, say, eth0, but I'm pretty sure you can ensure that a specific
device always has a specific name of your choosing (like, say,
/dev/firstNIC). 

A tutorial on writing udev rules is here:
