2 ISA NICS in 1 machine???

[OliverW]

First of all I noticed a strange thing doing a search on this board! I found a topic regarding this issue but I couldn't open it! It was saying something like: Couldn't find Member# blablabla. What's up with that??

Anyways. I've an old P100 with 16 mb RAM and I like to use it as my ADSL router. I'm using Debian on it. Now I've set up one (thanks YaRness) on IRQ 3 i/o 0x300, but now I need the second one installed. I popped that one in and figure that the other needs to be configured on a different IRQ. That shouldn't be a problem I think.

Now my question is this. I don't need to install a new module for this one is ne2000 compatible just like the other one, but how do I make a difference in both cards. In other words, how do I let linux know that I have 2 NIC's?

Thanks in advance,
Olli

in freesco the ne2000 module finds all the ne2000 nics and sets them up.

try sticking it in and boot linux up. do a "dmesg|grep eth" to see if it sets up both.

may want to make sure the second one i configured for diffferent, AVAILABLE resources before sticking it in willy-nilly though.

Mmm well that's my point. I want to configure them diffently, but how?

In /etc/modules/ne and /etc/modules.conf I have an entry for the first card but the second isn't in there. I can fill it in manually... but what's the right syntax for that?
