We installed 2.4.21-pre5 on a system that had 2.4.20 on it before.
A) The network scan order changes. It used to be:
       eth0    = Intel (on motherboard)
       eth1    = DP8381x
       eth2    = DS21140

   which WAS the PCI BIOS order.

   2.4.21-pre5 does NOT get it in the PCI bios order.

B) Since we all agree that it is unacceptable to make a change like this in
   the production stream, I expect that this is a bug.
