[vortex] docking port/3c59x driver

[Mark Smith]

i would like to setup my dell laptop to have fixed IF's so that i
know what each IF refers to regardless of where i boot it.  essentially
the following:

	eth0 -> docking port ethernet port
	eth1 -> onboard laptop ethernet port
	eth2 -> pcmcia wireless card

the only hitch is that my laptop only sees the ethernet adaptor attached 
to the docking bay only while it is in the docking bay (duh).

is there anyway to force the 3c59x driver to load eth0 at a particular
pci position even though the pci device is not attached at the time of
booting?  (e.g. not docked).

loading the 3c59x driver while docked, the driver recognizes both devices.

lspci output while booted attached to docking port:
