On a IP-Masquerading server I've got, I've also got two cards (different brands, though). I believe that the easiest way to do this is by compiling your network driver as a module. That way, you can use modprobe (and later /etc/modutils/aliases) to specify configuration options and unload/reload the driver while playing with settings without rebooting. From the kernel docs for 2.2.10 (should apply to 2.0.36 tho): The ne module is an exception to the above. A NE2000 is essentially an 8390 chip, some bus glue and some RAM. Because of this, the ne probe is more invasive than the rest, and so at boot we make sure the ne probe is done last of all the 8390 cards (so that it won't trip over other 8390 based cards) With modules we can't ensure that all other non-ne 8390 cards have already been found. Because of this, the ne module REQUIRES an "io=0xNNN" argument passed in via insmod. It will refuse to autoprobe. Hope this helps, as always, reply if you have questions/problems/et al -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
