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.
