Hi,
I have a Mac Pro 3.1 which onboard ethernet ports are dead. Aquired a PCIe network card, it works fine. Problem is that wireless grabs en0, ethernet goes into en1, as a result I'm unable to log into App Store and iCloud. For some reason App Store needs ethernet to be en0. Any ideas how to reverse the en0 - en1 order? Tried networkconfigurations.plist deletion, doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

The reason for the issue to come up at all could be that your Mac registers itself based on the M.A.C. address of its primary Ethernet port, which on a Mac Pro is en0.
The software that came with your PCIe network card should be controlling which port is assigned. If your Ethernets were working, there would be en0 and en1, and the Wi-Fi would use en2.
Ethernet is en1, wi-fi is en0. As I understand correctly it should be opposite. The software that came with the card is only driver and I don't believe it controls anything, OS should be the in charge here.
