Re: Can't get seconf NIC to work



Only the first NIC is autodetected, for a second card, you need to add
a boot parameter (if compiled into the kernel) or a line in
/etc/conf.modules (if a compiled as a module).  This is explained in
section 3.2 of the Ethernet-HOWTO (in Debian's doc-linux-text package or at
http://metalab.unc.edu/linux/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html
