Maybe a FAQ update indicating what to do if this occurs would be good. I think 
an initial hack would be to have a podule override which would allow an 
overide of the podule ID's when booting. As I already said a proper fix is to 
beef up the podulebus probe code so that it can tell these cards apart.

I can indeed but it won't be available till at least Monday. Building an 
install kernel requires a full 1.5_BETA install and it will take a day or so 
for my machine to build and install that.
