I'd assume that SLES (like most modern Linux distros) uses udev - in 
which case look somewhere like /etc/udev/rules.d. In Debian, the 
network config (MAC <-> I/F mapping) is in a file called 
<something>persistent-net.rules in that directory.
Just edit this and put the new mac in the line that defines the old 
eth1, and delete the 'new' NIC. There's probably some means of 
reloading stuff after this, but rebooting does it for me.
Worst case, try 'grep -ri 00:16:3e:00:00:00 /etc' - putting your old 
mac address in place of all the zeros.!
