It varies by driver. The test you need to use is cat /proc/net/dev and see if multiple eth# are listed. Here is how I have accomplished simular tasks (although a long time ago, so there may be a more elegant way to do it by now). Use ln to create multiple names for ne, ex cd /lib/modules/`kernelversion`/net ln ne ne0 ln ne ne1 ln ne ne2 then in /etc/conf.modules (or in /etc/modutils/options in the case of a newer setup) add options ne0 io=0x320 irq=09 options ne1 io=0x200 irq=03 options ne2 io=0x280 irq=15 The reason this is nessary is only the last options line with a given name will be read.
