There is no linuxconf setting for this. This is a quasi-undocumented
feature. You need to specify it in /etc/conf.modules,example:
options 3c509  irq=9,10 xcvr=0,3
says the first 3c509 NIC uses irq 9, and the 10bt
The second 3c905 NIC uses irq 10, and the bnc

It may or may not work from the boot command line:
linux ether=9,,0,eth0 ether=10,,3,eth1

Good Luck
