Maybe... 1. if you are using PCI nics. Order of activation of a specific card depends on which slots the specific nic is in. 2. If it's an intel motherboard from my experience. The slot numbering is the same as you have mentioned on the top. Diff. Motherboard manufacturers have different implementations on the slot numbering scheme. You can test and deduce the slot numbering scheme of the PCI slots on your motherboard by running lspci. The 1st entries are usually onboard components, and the last entries are your add-on cards like quad network cards, hba or sound cards. Good luck, --- Andre M.
