Hi,
I have 2 cards on my box (ne2k-pci and rtl8139), and want to autoload the
drivers. I have defined the eth0 / eth1 aliases accordingly. It works fine
when I first have eth0 loaded, and eth1 afterwards, but if I "modprobe eth1"
with eth0 not loaded, the driver picks eth0... and subsequent ifconfig fail.
* I did not find a way to tell the driver which interface it should pick up
* The Ethernet-HOWTO tells that just defining the aliases and using
"modprobe ethN" is the way to go, which appears to be wrong.
Did I overlooked something ?
