Rename network interface

Hi all, I'm new here and looking for some help.
I'm looking for the way to rename the network interfaces for Solaris 10. Got a server with 2 network cards (say "igb0" and "igb1") and there were some reasons that I have to swap the pci slots for those cards. However, after I did that, Solaris 10 seems to detect them as new cards and created new names "igb2" and "igb3", which basically screwed up my network settings.

I prefer to keep my network settings so been trying to find out the way to rename them back to "igb0" and "igb1".

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

NAME
net_phylookup - determine if a network interface name exists for a network protocol SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/neti.h> phy_if_t net_phylookup(const net_data_t net, const char *name); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
net value returned from a successful call to net_protocol_lookup(9F). name name of the network interface to find. DESCRIPTION
The net_phylookup() function attempts to resolve the interface name passed in with the network protocol. When called successfully, the value returned represents a network interface that exists, at the time of the call, within the scope of the network interface. This value is only guaranteed to be unique for a name within the scope of the network protocol. RETURN VALUES
The net_phylookup() function returns -1 if it is not supported by the network protocol, and 0 if the named network interface does not exist (or is otherwise unknown). Otherwise, it returns a value greater than 0 representing a network interface that currently exists within the scope of this network protocol. CONTEXT
The net_phylookup() function may be called from user, kernel, or interrupt context. ATTRIBUTES
