This sounds like a problem with the netwok card numbering, i guess that
putting sunqe in /etc/mod..., then your sunqe are probed before your
sunhme card, and so you don't get the interface/card association as
expected.

I don't have THE solution, but...

Look at wich interface is associated at which card, and then modify your
iptables script according to.

Perhaps another solution is to not put sunqe in /etc/modules.conf, and
then load and configure these 2 network cards in /etc/rc.d/local or
something similar.
