Yes, I looked at that.  Annoying to implement and fails if you add or
remove a card.  It's ok if the box is static though.  It would be better
if you could wire down adaptor numbers to pci slots as well.

I've just had another look at the Dell, and it's allocating pci busses 0
and 1 to the slots, and 2 to the embedded interfaces.  Makes it difficult
to be consistant when it does that. <sigh>


Carl.
