Shouldn't do.
Where did you get gEDA (distro / compile from source etc..)?
On my computer, the relevant file is:
~/geda/share/gEDA/scheme/gnet-verilog.scm
I think there is a bug in the 1.4.0 verilog backend, which was later
fixed. Try replacing (backup first) your gnet-verilog.scm with the one
attached.
PS.
If you're also using the VHDL backend at all, let me know, and I'll send
the fixed version of that too.
PPS.
If you want / need attributes from the schematic exporting as verilog
attributes, I have a modified version of the verilog backend which does
that. It was something I found useful with when experimenting with
gnucap's verilog support. It also adjusts the output whitespace to match
(then) limitations gnucap's verilog parsing support, I'm not sure if
those are still present or not.
