linux red hat 5.2 kernel 2.0.36

I have a small fast ethernet network at home with 3 workstations and want to
set up a proxi cache - firewall with an ADSL modem on a linux machine but
can t get two nics to work at the same time.

the two nics are the same 3c905, not b's. if i do not give any config
parameters to any eth1 will work fine but if i give configs in conf.modules,

alias 3c59x eth0
options 3c59x io=0x300 irq=11
alias 3c59x eth1
options 3c59x io=0x360 irq=9

i have the following message at boot,,

net card act delayed, bla bla bla , symbol for io parameter not found

for both cards and if i edit the conf.modules to put the irq first i ll get

symbol for irq parameter not found.

any insight to get both of my net cards works.

thanx

Hugo

options 3c59x io=0x300,0x360 irq=11,9

for multiple cards.  There is also something about loading multiple modules
for some cards, and then you need to specify a module name like 3c59x-1 to
be able to tell the two cards apart.
