Read over the Linux Network Administrators Guide, you need to pass some parameters to the kernel to let it know that it needs to look for 2 cards. The NAG is kinda old, but that piece of it still applies:

I had to add the following line to lilo.conf: append="ether=5,0x310,0,0,eth0 ether=9,0x300,0,0,eth1" Good Luck! -- Jeff On Thu, 2 Mar 2000, Doug wrote: > Hello, > > I hope this is the right area to ask this question.
