In case that the onboard and addon interface use different modules
you can easily set the order by using linuxrc parameters 

  linuxrc.debug=-udev.mods insmod=first-module insmod=second-module

The order of these modules will be transferred into INITRD_MODULES, too.

Of course this won't help if all network interfaces use the same module
