It's been broken a long time, I'm running 2.2.12 on a box with 4 tulip cards. three DC21041 and on DS21140
If I position the cards in the box I get slot-1 DS21140 eth0 pcidevice-8 slot-2 DC21140 eth1 pcidevice-9 slot-3 DC21140 eth2 pcidevice-10 slot-4 DC21140 eth3 pcidevice-11
I move the DS21140 to slot 2 I get
slot-1 DC21140 eth0 pcidevice-8 slot-2 DS21140 eth3 pcidevice-11 slot-3 DC21140 eth1 pcidevice-9 slot-4 DC21140 eth2 pcidevice-10
I would assume that pci-devices are allocated oddly, first nic gets first pci-device, then the bus is scanned for same type of devices and they get next pci-devices, etc...
As the the nicnames are allocated against the pci-devicelist, which is allready wrong, the names are wrong also.
