Hi Alex, If you compile the drivers as modules and put them in /etc/ modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, you can set the order by listing the normal ethernet card's module first. At least I think so :) unfortunately this is not true, since the modules in that files are loaded in order ethernet -- wireless .. Regards, MC -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi Dirk, If you're using udev, see http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-iface about how to give any name you want to a network interface. many thanks for your indication. I've used that nice howto some time ago for configuring an external drive... but i forgot that nice section on net cards. Now it works good, although i do not understand why it changed.
