test3 kernels and network devices

I'm not sure if I should file this as a bug or not.  I'm running test3 
on a Sharp Actius UM32W which has both a 'Realtek|RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+' 
ethernet card and an 'Intersil Corporation|Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset' 
wireless card built in.  With test1 & test2 the cards were detected as 
eth0 for the wireless and eth1 for the ethernet, both cards worked.  
Starting with kernel 2.6.5-1.327 kudzu reports a Realtek card as eth1, 
Intersil Corporation|Prism 2.5 as eth2, nothing for eth0.  At boot 
though the Intersil Corporation  card is detected as eth0 and running 
iwconfig shows a wireless card as eth0.  Additionally at boot it looks 
like the kernel confuses  eth0 and eth1 (note dmesg output below).   The 
ethernet card is working, the wireless card does not (either as eth0 or 
eth1).

any thoughts or should i bugzilla this ?
