Not necessarily. The first NIC the o/s detects is the first one listed.
I
suspect when you rebuilt the system the gigabit NIC was installed. Hence
when the o/s detected both NICs, it chose the gigabit NIC as the first and
the one on the mobo second.

Thanks for the suggestion. But the OS didn't detect either NIC. I had to
manually specify both. And no matter which order they were installed,
ConSeal still showed the gigabit NIC as NIC for external network.

Last install put the NICs in same order in both systems: internal NIC is
NetworkCards/1, external is NetworkCards/2. So from what is ConSeal making a
choice?

The answer to that is unclear, but I did figure out how to flip the NICs. In
registry HKLM\SW\MS\Ncpa\CV, BindFileEx string includes a section for
ConSeal protocol, which contains NIC descriptions. By flipping the
descriptions, then making a change in bindings to force a reload, I now have
ConSeal showing the NICs in the desired order.
