I believe it generalizes to "the lower PCI ID gets the first assignment." However this assumes the cards are the same. If they are not -- it seems the load order of kernel drivers is arbitrary, so you can only be assured of a certain order if the cards are the same (e.g. same driver, so no race conditions) and thus the PCI ID order takes precedence. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
