That works nicely.

alias eth1 foo
probe foo bar 3c59x (or `probe foo 3c59x bar')

# modprobe foo (or eth1)
# lsmod
Module Size Used by
3c59x 19064 0 (unused)

I'll play with this further in a week or two. Would the PCMCIA-HOWTO be an
appropriate place to document this trick?


A question for Keith:

If we have:

probe 3c575_cb 3c575_cb 3c59x

How does the `options' statement bind? Will

options 3c575_cb debug=3

work correctly regardless of which driver is loaded, or do we need

options 3c575_cb debug=3
options 3c59x debug=3
