A suggestion:

When pci devices are probed, the O/S prints out something similar
to this:

eth0 <ET/5025PQ QUAD Adapter> rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci0:17
eth1 <ET/5025PQ DUAL Adapter> rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:18

Note that this is actually wrong in this case (as unit 0 has eth0-eth3 and
unit 1 had eth4 and eth5 given that these are multiport adapters.

I would recommend that this show the unit number, perhaps....

eth Unit:0 <ET/5025PQ QUAD Adapter> rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci0:17
eth Unit:1 <ET/5025PQ DUAL Adapter> rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:18

although I dont really like the term "unit" because it is somewhat 
ambiguous...perhaps Adapter:0 or Card:0 is better.

Its a tad confusing when you look at the the messages output.
