Bug#256907: Was caused by IEEE1394 Ethernet hijacking eth0
This problem was caused by IEEE1394 Ethernet ("eth1394") hijacking eth0
(therefore making the actual ethernet card eth1, dough!). The problem
was fixed by not loading "video1394" (or any other 1394 modules) in
/etc/modules. After that eth0 was associated with the ethernet card as
usual.
Module "eth1394" still gets loaded (starting with 2.6.4 kernel, loaded
by discover?) but only after "3c59x" and therefore gets associated with
eth1.
This is more reasonable although it could still cause problems to
unsuspecting users suddenly getting an extra Ethernet interface (in my
experience IEEE1394 is usually installed for other use than Ethernet
access).
