Didn't the same thing happen in the 2.2 -> 2.4 transition? I believe it was for all PCI devices. And I thought there was a boot arg something like pci=reverse. Does it still exist?

I just booted my spanking new P4 HT PC last night using 2.5.58 and to my dissapointment the enumeration of the ethx devices is reversed. I have 5 ethernet ports on this; eth0-4 on 2.4.x are now listed as eth4-0. This is rude. I immediately pointed a finger at monsieur J Garzik (thinking ethernet, PCI enumeration hmm) but he has denied any responsibility ;-> ;-> He thinks it may be the sysfs people. Can anyone give justification for this? Regardless of justification can we have some form of backward compatibility flag?
cheers, jamal
