freebsd stable - Jan 2013 - bge numbering

Hi,
this server, a Dell R720 has 4 bge on board,
     Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x5720000
     bge0: APE FW version: NCSI v1.1.7.0
     bge0: CHIP ID 0x05720000; ASIC REV 0x5720; CHIP REV 0x57200; PCI-E
     miibus0: <MII bus> on bge0
     ...

I have connected the ethernet to port labeled 0, but it appears
as bge2, how can this be corrected?

thanks,
	danny

It can't really.  The order of PCI devices is determined by the layout of
the
PCI device hierarchy which is generally determined by the physical traces on 
your motherboard.

See /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
#ifconfig_fxp0_name="net0"      # Change interface name from fxp0 to
net0.

or 'ifconfig name'.
