Ah, right. I thought the problem was that the order in which cards would
get autoprobed wasn't deterministic, so if you just say "ether=0,0,eth1"
you can't be sure which card will end up as eth0 and which as eth1.

However, I only have one 3c509 so I've never tried it, and I'm probably
remembering wrong.
