You can blacklog the ip-over-firewire module (don't remember the exact name),
but you have to do it in both discover (1 or 2, different ways to do it), and
hotplug. It is easier to just add the modules (via-rhine and mv64340_eth) to
/etc/modules (echo "via-rhine\nmv64340_eth" >>/etc/modules if you don't know
how to use an editor), so they will be loaded before hotplug and/or discover
loads the ip-over-firewire module and thus get the earlier eth numbers.
