 Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2004 9:19 am Post subject: [Solved] Two network-cards with the same module? |
 |
|
I have 2 network-cards 3c590 and 3CSOHO100B-TX...
They both use the same module 3C59x..
3c590 starts as eth0 and works fine but 3CSOHO dosen't start....
How do I start 3CSOHO and make it eth1?
<edit>
I was usin the wrong driver for the second network card, it used a tulip driver....
Now the problem has been solved and I thank all that have responded to my plea for help.
</edit>

Maybe emerging hotplug helps? Did you edit your /etc/conf.d/net? How about
Take a look at your boot messages. There you can figure out, whether eth1 is recognized. |

Okay, try editing your /etc/modules.d/aliases somehow this way:
Now, edit your /etc/conf.d/net like:
Don't forget to run
after this.
And make sure to have backup copies of the edited files, just in case, anything goes wrong. |
