I tried this with RH 6.2 but no luck. Here is what I did :
alias eth0 airo (airo is for aironet radio)
alias eth1 eepro100
It just insist on putting the aironet on eth1 anyway :=(
Thanks for the suggestion

If this is rh7.0, you will need to edit modules.conf instead of
conf.modules. That should have worked in 6.2 or earlier when you edit
conf.modules. If this is a 6.2 or earlier version, I have no immeadiate
idea whats up. If thats all it is, you could put a short script in place
that makes the edits you need to modules.conf. Hope this helps.
