I have two Linksys ethernet cards in a firewall system that I am configuring
(finally got the new linksys modules installed!). Anyway, the NIC's are
working fine, I just cant figure out which physical card correlated to eth0
or eth1. I thought that the IRQ's would be descending, thus the interface
with IRQ 10 is in the topmost slot and the interface with IRQ 11 is in the
bottomost slot. It doesnt seem to be this way on my computer however.
Anyone have experience with this? I guess I could just go into the BIOS and
set resources manually. Maybe I should make sure the numbers in cat
/proc/pci make sense with the numbers from ifconfig. Thanks in advance for
anyone who has advice on this issue. Maybe if I get this firewall going I
can stop calling myself a newbie and upgrade to user. Must keep approaching
every linux situation as a newbie if I want to be a good Zen monk though I
guess.

PS First time at a meeting last night and I must say it was fun. I look
forward to further meetings. (I am the big dufus that won the Corel Linux
box in the raffle)
