You shouldn't need to change modules.conf. All you need to do is put an
append statement in your /etc/lilo.conf file to assign the module, irq, and
I/O to eth0 or eth1. However, I have had trouble in the past using a 3c905
pci card where it ALWAYS wants to be eth0 no matter what you do. This is
because it is a pci card, and the pci probe at boot time finds it and makes
it the 1st nic reguardless of what you tell it.
This is what my append statement looks like:
append="ether=10,0x210,eth0 ether=3,0x300,eth1"
