All the questions about buses weren't answered, nor the way the drivers are loaded in /etc/modules.
As a test, load only the driver for the 10bt modules in /etc/modules. See that it gets eth0 assigned. Now load the driver for the other nics. They should get 1 and 2. I would think you would get the same thing by ordering the drivers in /etc/modules, but if not, you can always script load as suggested. -- Sincerely, David Smead http://www.amplepower.com.
