    Hello:

    I have two Ethernet cards (NICs) in a PII-300. The first recognized is
    an NE2000 ISA clone at IRQ10, and the second is a PCI at (shared) IRQ
    12.

    I would like the second (the PCI) to be assigned as ETH0, and the first
    (ISA) to be ETH1.

    I've fiddled with the ether= append line for the kernel, and also the
    contents of the interfaces file in /etc/network to no avail.

    Anyone know how to force the assignment without resorting to "ifconfig"
    and "route" directly?

    Dean
