[LUAU] Multipile NIC's and Linux

[Michael & Diana Hasse]

I have 2 3C509b cards in my system at home.  You do have to compile the
kernel with the drive support built in for this to work correctly and in the
lili.conf add the line

append = "ether=3,0x240,eth0 ether=5,0x340,eth1"

to the end of your session area.  You can make everything else in the kernel
a module so you can keep the modular support that you get with a new
install.

Hope this helps.

I'm kinda driving myself bonkers on this one. I'm sure I'm missing
something fairly trivial. Pointers to FAQS or HOWTO's appreciated.

I'm trying to setup multiple NIC's on a new Linux box, just installed it
with Redhat 5.2, but am having problems getting a second NIC recognized.
I don't have a problem getting a 3c509b recognized and working.

My problems begin when I tried using a second NIC. I've tried with a
KNE20 (kingston) and made what I thought were appropriate entries in
conf.modules.

alias eth0 3c509
options io=0x210 irq=9
alias eth1 ne
options io=0x240 irq=5

But it doesn't seem to recognize the cards. I have another 3c509b
(they're my favorite since I seem to have less problems using them). But
vaguely recall reading somewhere that using two of the same NIC cards
won't work without some extra work.

I'd be most grateful if anyone can point me to more info, or clue me in
if they have a similar setup. I'd like to try setting the box up to
IP-masq an existing network connection.

Thanks in advance!
