I wasn't asking how to do it, I was commenting that their statement about
need the driver compiled into the kernel to run two nics of the same kind
is not true.
Anyway, allI did was simply put this in /etc/conf.modules, and it worked
fine (pci nics)
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 tulip
no reboot required either (except to physically install the bugger of
course :) )
