I installed the 3c5x9utils package as suggested and I think it's indicating the problem, but I'm not sure how to interpret the results (or what to do about it). I run the diagnostic and it finds both cards. The output is approx.:
Generating the activation sequence on port 0x100 for card 1 Activating the card at I/O address 300 EEPROM contents: [a list] An ISA Etherlink III board was activated at I/O 0x300, IRQ 5 eth0: 3c509 found at 0x300 Window [0: ... 7:] Generating the activation sequence on port 0x100 for card 2 Activating the card at I/O address 300 EEPROM contents: [a list, different from above] An ISA Etherlink III board was activated at I/O 0x300, IRQ 10 eth0: 3c509 found at 0x300 Window [0: ... 7: (different from above)] So, it seems to be finding both cards at the different IRQs and configuring them both as eth0 at 0x300 (whatever that means). The 3c5x9utils package includes a setup utility, but I'm not sure what to change. Any suggestions? Thanks.
