I'm a little curious about what it is you're trying to do.  If you want 
to prevent Ethernet devices from ever rotating, this doesn't work.  For 
example, if you set 'ethact' to an interface that isn't connected, 
eth_init() will rotate the interfaces until it reaches a valid link or 
the end of the chain, never reaching your change.  If you really want to 
prevent rotation, I'd move your logic into the 'eth_try_another()' 
function itself, returning quickly if "ethrotate=no".

Ben

Sorry, but this patch implies application of the previous patch, which 
was rejected. Please re-base against TOT. I tried to patch things 
manually but it wasn't cooperating and I have other things I need to do.
