>Description:
On Dell 1955 servers (and others) the network adapters are not enumerated
right. Physical port 1 becomes em1 and port 2 becomes em0. This is pretty annoying  already, but makes it very hard to roll out a network installed farm and makes things confusing.

There's a DELL Document that describes the problem and solutions for FreeBSD,
but I could not find any for FreeBSD:
