Exactly, the boot process goes so:
1) udev loads forcedeth.ko and it gets eth0
2) udev also loads airo.ko
3) forcedeth loads very fast and udev renames it to eth1 according to /etc/iftab
4) airo slowly init the card and try to get eth1 as name, but found it busy and die()

Personally I solved this by deleting forcedeth.ko. I know that it's ugly, but I don't use wired etherned
and i hate do "rmmod airo ; modprobe airo" at every boot, also in a shell script.

Cheers,
Matteo
