Hi, Thanks to Eric, Gordon, and Erkki for responding! On this machine I do have the ability to modify the IRQs in the BIOS , so I tried Gordon's suggestion to alter the IRQs assigned to each NIC. Unfortunately, this had no effect on the NIC detection order with the module I am using (Erich

Well, yes and no. The kernel assigns the numbers sequentially but it is the module that requests these assignments in the order it finds the NICs. With the older ISA cards you could enforce this order by specifying several hardware properties (actually, these were required) but with PCI this is
