Subjectnetwork devices and passing options to kernel
 hello all,

on a server i administrate we have two pci cards - one is DECtupis and
the other VIA-rhino. on the boot up, the monolithic kernel detects both
of the cards (it's given parameters from the lilo). the problem i have is
how can i _force_ the kernel or drivers to accept the order in which i
want them.
for example if the append line in /etc/lilo.conf contains
"ether=5,0xd000,eth0 ether=12,0xb800,eth1" i expect the cards to be in just
this order. however, the via-rhino driver is run first and thus it gets
eth0 and not eth1 as i wanted it.
why are the parameters given to kernel ignored?

p.s: i tried on 2.2.x and 2.0.3x

thanks,
