Yes, this is possible. However, this requires dropping udev and moving to a static /etc/sysconfig/modules file. <troll>And, optionally, switching to the FreeBSD kernel, which cannot create name collisions (because the driver name is a part of the interface name--e.g., an Intel card gets "em0", while a Realtek card gets "rl0").</troll> BTW, one pleasant surprise for me recently (while testing solutions for #2057) was that I could install modern kernels on a Sarge virtual machine (that originally shipped with 2.6.8 or 2.4.?? kernel) that didn't have udev--and everything "just worked". With udev, I would have to worry about compatibility when upgrading kernels. -- Alexander E.
