Yes, I believe the driver assigns them
deterministically based on their
PCI slot, or IRQ or some-such.
IRQ would be good, but I vaguely remember they can be set either by
the OS or by the BIOS. A setting in the BIOS could be either "Plug
and Play OS" or not, iirc. I wonder if that setting has any bearing
on this.
