It has to do with the PCI ID order.

How did your boss made the PCI ID?
He must have defined that one of the 8139 card has let's say
ID 1 the other ID 2.

I guess that all of the PCI, PNP and ACPI specs must have
a way to say which device is which.

So I guess that he will have to rewire or change the PCI IDs

Matt,  hoping you can help with this.

My boss designed a board with two 8139 cards on board.
One is harwired to a connector intended to be eth0
the other to a switch intended to be eth1.

Naturally the reverse occurred.
If we can't fix this in BIOS he'll have to rewire.

The question is why is the BIOS, which I assume is doing a
bus scan selecting the particular order?
What is it in the address or whatever lines which determines the order.

Thanx, Phil
