(A)
If ne is already compiled in the kernel, the lilo append parameter should
look like this:
append ="ether=12,0x280,eth0 ether=15,0x240,eth1"
Of course, adjust for your values. The "0,0, eth1" lable assumes that the
card is detectable and more than likely, you need two of those. If you wish
to try your luck with autodetect, please verify the "0,0,eth1" syntax
which is explained in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Multiple-Ethernet.gz ):
(B)
If ne is loaded as module, then use this alias in /etc/modules :
ne io=0x240,0x280 irq=15,12
Please refrain using both methods at the same time. One method
precludes the other, there should be no need to pass both the append to lilo
and the alias in /etc/modules. I remember having problems detecting
the second card when I tried to notify the kernel in more than one
way at once.
