Hello: How about this as workaround? Plug out or disable in BIOS your second card, and leave active only the first one. Boot openSUSE, start network config from scratch. Now your first cars should get name eth0. Turn off computer, plug in second card (or activate in BIOS), boot openSUSE, and activate the second card in YaST. As your first card is already activated as eth0, the second card should be named eth1. I am curious if this could be a solution, please write back whether it worked or not.

Per Jesson pointed out that there is a bug which is causing the device ID to be randomly assigned to each NIC, so despite the fact that you might be able to get the assignments correct one time does not mean it will stay persistent the next time you reboot. And that is what is happening to me, even when I tried your approach and removed one of the NICs, then added it back in later... What is really weird is that YaST may report the device ID's assigned to each NIC one way, while in actual fact what gets transmitted over each NIC may be going in and out of the other one. That means the kernel thinks the device IDs are assigned opposite to what YaST thinks, and YaST apparently does not have the ability to reassign the device ID's correctly. (I tried, and it fails...)
