Yeah, it's a bit unclear at first. What you want to do is put the
information on the append line, like this:
append="mem=96M ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=11,0x2e0,eth1"
I'd recommend you put in the real values rather than 0,0 - that enables
autoprobing and let's face it, you do want to know which interface is
which, don't you?
I hope this helps. By the way, my two cards are 3C509B's.
