Re: 2 network cards revisited (fwd)
I've come in late on this message, so I'm not sure I'm catching it all,
but you should be able to assign your two network cards eth0 and eth1 in
your /etc/conf.modules. In there, you should see something like:
alias eth0 <whatever module you have for nic> (eexpress in this case)
options eth0 io=0xXX iqr=X
You should just be able to add 2 more lines like these two only alias eth1
instead of eth0. I could be wrong though.
