I had a RTL8029 (NE2000 compatible) running on RedHat6.1 that connects to
Telocity DSL no problem.
After I install a 2nd NIC(Linksys EtherFast LNE100TX), both eth0 and eth1
now fail. Even remove Linksys NIC, Linux now will not recognize my RTL8029
NIC (under win98 the single RTL8029 NIC still works.)
Does anybody know what problem it is? Both cards are PCI.
Thanks,
Philip

See:

After you compile and start using that, there may be additional issues
to sort out which are not readily apparent yet. (For one thing, ether
cards seem to require bus master pci slots -- a slave slot will not
function, and configuring may also take some work.)
1. Problems configuring my Linksys Etherfast NIC.
I have SuSE 7.0 Pro installed. I just installed a Linksys Etherfast Network
card. It has setup instructions for several versions of Linux, not SuSE. I
tried unsuccessfully to configure the tulip.o driver as it stated in the
instructions.
I tried to use YaST and YaST2 to setup the card and "No Network Card Is
Detected" is the message I get. I followed every direction to the letter and
still no luck. What am I overlooking. This doesn't seem
like rocket science, and I'm sure the answer is fairly simple.
I will have it connected to a cable modem with access to the net using
IP-Chains as my firewall. I have read the Ethernet HOWTO and it also says to
use the Tulip drive / module but I just can't get it to work.
The SuSE data base says it is supported as does Linksys.
Please help,
Mordak
