Hi

The aliases in modules.conf should have worked for you, but if you want, you 
can always do something like:

/usr/sbin/rcroute stop
/usr/sbin/rcnetwork stop
/sbin/rmmod 3c59x
/sbin/rmmod eepro100
/sbin/modprobe 3c59x
/sbin/modprobe eepro100
/usr/sbin/rcnetwork start
/usr/sbin/rcroute start

In this case, it forces a 3COM network card to be detected before an onboard 
Intel EEPRO.
You need to do this before you do run any network programs.  I'm just not 
sure that will make much difference, I think the aliases route is the way to 
go.
