(blacklist <module name>) I suspect that the index option is not going to work with NIC modules. The options directive lets you specify options that are passed to the module when it loads. The ALSA sound modules understand that index specifies what sound card they are supposed to be. (Card 0, 1, 2, etc...) You can see what options a module supports by using the modinfo command and looking at the parm: lines.
