I am tring to get linux up and running with two eexpress ISA cards irq 5
and 9 io 270 and 300 respectively. during RH 6.2 installation neither card
is detected i tried using netconfig two set them up. No dice on either card.
RH 5.2 installation gets one card but not the other. I tried this multiple
times and it will work with either card but only one. Then in 5.2 I try
adding it myself by modifying /etc/conf.modules and adding all the info.
Then I modified lilo.conf and ran lilo like some multi-nic web page said to.
The problem when I do ifconfig eth1 it says unknown interface. In a nutshell
my question is ho do I get ifconfig to acknoledge eth1 ??? PLEASE HELP!!

I had a similar problem. Iseem to have got around this by taking out 1 nic
card setting this up, then installing the other nic. Worked straight away!!

man isapnp
man isapnp.conf
man pnpdump

pnpdump to a temp file, edit it by hand, copy that to /etc/isapnp.conf.
modprobe in the desired modules. confirm that they both work, edit
modules.conf to auto load the drivers, RELAX! don't pop a vein ;-)
