Yeah I'm about to the point of doing this for lack of other options. Thanks for the sample code -- I'm sure it'll come in handy if I can solve this any other way. The best fix would be to find a way to hard-wire which card is which in the kernel config (ie fxp0 is always on pci0...) but I dont know if you can do that kind of thing with pci devices. Thanks for the help. -- Fred Clift - fred@veriohosting.com -- Remember: If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough.
