This sounds like a problem with the netwok card numbering, i guess that putting sunqe in /etc/mod..., then your sunqe are probed before your sunhme card, and so you don't get the interface/card association as expected. I don't have THE solution, but... Look at wich interface is associated at which card, and then modify your iptables script according to. Perhaps another solution is to not put sunqe in /etc/modules.conf, and then load and configure these 2 network cards in /etc/rc.d/local or something similar.
