Really, you recommend *against* a module kernel? I would recommend in
the opposite direction, actually. The main reason is that the
/etc/conf.modules lets you spell out which interface is eth0, eth1, and
what I/O, DMA, IRQ, etc. they use.
For instance, here's mine:
##############
# Networking #
##############
alias net-pf-4 off # IPX
alias net-pf-5 off # appletalk
#alias eth0 wd # When I used my Western-Digital card
options wd io=0x240 irq=10
#alias eth0 3c509 # When I used my 3COM card
options 3c509 io=0x210 irq=10
alias eth0 tulip # Currently using a DEC Tulip
# options tulip options=4 debug=1 # 10-base-T-FD
options tulip options=3 debug=1 max_interrupt_work=40 # 100-base-T
# options tulip options=5 debug=1 max_interrupt_work=40 # 100-base-T-FD
alias eth1 ne2k-pci # And also an NE2000 clone
