If they're using the same driver, they should be on different interrupts & base addresses... Therefore, you can call the moudules with the irq= & addr= (IIRC) parameters & put them in theorder you want.

Subject: Re: How to map eth0 to a different interface
well, the reason that I need control is, I am using an IDS s/w that
needs its inbound port to be eth1 and outbound port to be eth0. Since
my eth0 and eth1 ports are fiber optic gigi ports and only eth2 and
eth3 are copper ports, I need the copper ports to be eth0 and eth1.
And as you (Simpson) said, since all the ports use the same driver, it
doesnot make any difference in changing the order.
