If they use different drivers, and are compiled in the kenel as modules, you can control the order they are modproped in. (order in /etc/modules or whereever they are being loaded.) If one compiled in the kenel and the other a module, the order is obvious. If all are compiled in, the kernel probing order determines it. If they use the same driver, I think the driver scanning order determines it. This should be consistant, but what order is used is not obvious. It may even be affected by the presense/absence of other cards in other slots. On my system with a 3c905b card and a 3c905? on the motherboard, the motherboard is eth1. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html "Text is a way we cheat time." -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden
