Nah, you could do something like -ID ,4,3,,,5,,7,,,9 with the spaces between
the commas getting the default value. If you have more NICs past the last one
you manually specify an ID to, those also get the default ID. (Granted, not
the best way to do it if you plan to skip a lot of NICs at the beginning or
the middle.)

Of course, since you'd have to specify a macaddr for each NIC anyways, might as
well just use that as the ID.
