RTFM. man 7 bootparam.
ETHERNET DEVICES
Different drivers make use of different parameters, but
they all at least share having an IRQ, an I/O port base
value, and a name. In its most generic form, it looks
something like this:
ether=irq,iobase[,param_1[,...param_8]],name
[...]
The most common use of this parameter is to force probing
for a second ethercard, as the default is to only probe
for one. This can be accomplished with a simple:
ether=0,0,eth1
Note that the values of zero for the IRQ and I/O base in
the above example tell the driver(s) to autoprobe.
