Re: [TCLUG:22457] Switching Ethernet Cards

["Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@veldy.net>]

You create an entry in /etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf) that aliases
the driver to the interface.

alias eepro100 eth0

I believe this is the syntax.  I usually load modules explicitly instead of
letting kmod do it, so it has been awhile since I attempted it.
