I have a problem involving 2 NIC's in a 486 33DX with 16MB RAM and two
3c509 cards which I use as a firewall. OS is Red Hat 6.0.
After installing RH 6.0, I entered linuxconf to set up the two cards.
Eth0 is IRQ 10 and should connect with the ADSL modem for a DHCP
address. Eth1 is IRQ 5 and should connect with the local network with
a 192,168.1.* address.
The problem is no matter whether I change card 0 or 1 in linuxconf,
both are set to the same IRQ when the change is activated.
I tried using a text editor and changing the settings in
/etc/conf.modules. No good. I enter settings as follows:
alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509
options 3c509 irq=10,5
I also tried:
alias eth0 3c509
options 3c509 irq=10
alias eth1 3c509
options 3c509 irq=5
Neither one maintains separate settings for the two NICs. Am I missing
something or do I just have a corrupted installation?
