I thought that,but reading the question again, I don't think the problem is naming, but the wrong driver claiming the card. I think the solution may be to set rc_hotplug="!net.*" in /etc/conf.d/rc then the modules will load in the order given in autoload. Or check the modules' documentation for options that will control which cards they attach themselves to, which would be a cleaner solution. -- Neil Bothwick File not found. Should I fake it? (Y/N)
