A couple of months back I filed a bug because every time I would reboot
it would add another card to the list, eth01, 2, 3, etc but they seem to
have fixed it. I looked for the report but it seems to be gone, I did
save the email address of the guy working on it so if you still have
problems email me tim at tmpco.com and I'll send you his address.
