Quite possibly, the registration program for that codec will bind to
eth0 and use it as the host ID, if you change ethernetcards or re-number
interfaces you will need to re-register the codec. 

As for the re-ordering of your network cards I would suggest you look
into running udev with some rules to keep the order of the cards
consistent over reboots.
