I am having a bizzare problem - I have a netfinity-5100 with dual nic's 
- It has an on board (eth0) pcnet32 --- the second is in pci slot 1 
(eepro100) (eth1) ...  When the system boots up, eth0 expects, eepro100 
and eth1 exepect pcnet32 - so I bring it up in Single user mode, change 
the drivers and do an init 5 (all is well) -- if i try to reboot, then I 
start all over.  Has anyone any idea why the devices/software switch 
positions? Could it be the bios?

tia,
mark
