How to change order of NICs in FreeBSD?

[Ferdinand Goldmann]

Hi there,

this might be an easy one, but I seem to be unable to come up with a google'd
solution. :(

I have a machine with four network cards using the em driver:

em0 at pci2:12:0:  class=0x020000 card=0x10028086 chip=0x10268086 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00
em1 at pci3:11:0:  class=0x020000 card=0x10028086 chip=0x10268086 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00
em2 at pci6:7:0:   class=0x020000 card=0x016d1028 chip=0x10768086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00
em3 at pci7:8:0:   class=0x020000 card=0x016d1028 chip=0x10768086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00

Two of the cards are onboard, namely em2 and em3, and the other two (em0, em1)
are sitting in expansion slots. I would like to change the order of the cards,
so that the onboard cards are recognized as em0 and em1.

I tried using the device.hints file, but without much success. Is there any
way how to do this?

Kind regards
