howto "create" eth1 ?

[pvc]

hi i've just done a new install of debian 3, but it only installed 1 ethernic, just eth0 the other network card isnt listed with ifconfig

but it does show up with lspci.

so i was wondering is it possible to bring this nic up? and if so how?
do i need to compile a new kernel for it or can i load some modules or something?

(the nic is: digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21041 [tulip pass 3](rev 21) )

thanks in advance.

Try adding

alias eth0 <module name>
alias eth1 <module name>

to /etc/modules.conf.

[pvc]

hmz that file sais i shouldnt edit it by hand, and even if i do nothing happens..


i'm also not sure wether the appropriate module is loaded and if not loaded how to load it the modconf util acted kinda weird so that diddnt tell me much

if i do insprobe -p de4x5 i get:
using lib/modules/2.2.20.-idepci/net/de4x5.o

i dont kno what this means but i thik it mean the module is there somehow.

also when i do lspci it sais disabled by my eth1 nic (the one i'm trying to create)

pvc.
