Re: assign specific card to interface?

well, two things here.... if they both have different modules, it'll be easiest to add the following in /etc/modprobe.com:

alias eth0 module-for-card-1
alias eth1 module-for-card-2

mode elegant, though, is to use udev to do it... and beyond that, you can use nameif.  This thread has all the details:
