Well, here are the problems I ran into while I got two ethernet cards
going on my RH box.
- Getting drivers going. I recompiled the kernel
with the drivers included.
- Getting correct IRQ etc. settings on the cards. I discovered that
the DOS setup utilities for both cards would set the IRQ on *BOTH*
cards. I would run the first cards setup utility, set the IRQ to 10,
run the second cards setup utility and set the IRQ to 11. Then I'd
reboot and discover that one of the cards wasn't seen by RH
because they both had IRQ 11 :-( I pulled one card and set the
other one, then reinstalled the first card and that worked.
- Telling LILO about the second ethernet card. I put the line
append="ether=10,0x280,0,eth0 ether=9,0x340,0,eth1"
at the start of my /etc/lilo.conf file and ran /sbin/lilo
Good luck....
