I have a Dell 8200 laptop and a docking station, both with 3c905C ethenet chips. I wish to use the 3c905c internal to the docking station when the system is docked. Otherwise the 3c905c internal to the 8200. In my office I would like to run with both eth0 and eth1, but I need to be able to connect the correct ifcfg to the correct cable.
The HOWTOs I found all assumed you had old cards with fixed addresses. These could be specified as options in modules.conf. From the Net-HOWTO:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
alias eth2 ne
options ne io=0x220,0x240,0x300
But this does not seem to apply to the 3c59x driver. modinfo doesn't even list "
"io" as a valid option.
I did find:
1) in /proc/ioports, one of the devices is listed with "(#2)" after it.
2) in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, one of the devices has subDeviceId = 00d4, the other 00de.
Any assistance would be appreciated. I did try to RTFM, I just can't find the correct "fine manual";-)
thanks
don
