For example: alias eth0 e1000 associates eth0 with the e1000 driver (intel ethernet driver). You need to find out the names of the drivers for your webcam and tv card, then: alias video0 driver1 alias video1 driver2 and then I think you need to arrange a "modprobe video0" and "modprobe video1" during boot (might be automatic - you're hope so, eh?) Note: This is what I _think_ you need to do. I am _not_ an expert in this. In particular, I have a laptop where this doesn't seem enough, but I have modified its boot scripts extensively so it could be my fault. It is a source of great annoyance to me that there's no way, apparently, to determine what driver is supporting what device. If I could say "who is doing eth0 and eth1" to my laptop I could work around the occasional swapping of the ethernet and wifi:-( As it is, just last Saturday I hacked my boot stuff to guess the wifi device by sniffing at the output of iwconfig - ick:-( See "man modprobe" and "man modprobe.conf", too.
