Unfortunately you cannot. `ether=' is broken for all drivers which use the new(ish) alloc_etherdev() API.
It is due to ordering problems: the name of the interface is not known at the time of parsing the setup info and nobody has got down and worked out how to fix it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
