I am aware that the request sounds silly, but I have a third party program
which checks its licence against the first inet device. Since I have added
a new inet controller, the sequence has changed. Of course I ask for a new
licence, but they want to charge me for that and I do not see any reason
for that.
Load old inet devices like normal, in loader.conf. Then load the new
device driver before networking, after rc's started. If it'd because of
probe order, then you might just have to control the probe order the
hard way. If the program's calling ifconfig itself, you could write a
wrapper to resort the output. And call a lawyer, getting a new ethernet
card shouldn't void a license.
