"on module load"? I assume you mean I'm supposed to use udev rules?
Not all modules have a naming param, do they?
If it's udev rules, I've been using lines like this:
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:90:fb:xx:xx:xx", NAME="eth50"
(very annoying note: they are case sensitive!)
Some daemon (kudzu?) tries to remember which port was which so this
naming/renaming thing is far from clear unless you know of an ironclad
way of doing it... I thought initscripts would be the magic bullet,
but I guess not.
