RE: two card clash
i suggest doing it manually, i remember having a problem with corel's GUI
and multiple ethernet interfaces, edit /etc/init.d/network manually, or
see my previous mail, and put the line you use (once it is tested) in that
script, and another line for eth1. as far as i know you cannot have 2
network cards on the same network at the same time using most of the
drivers. so make sure eth1 is on another network.

chris >hmmm. still very confused. According to dmesg both cards were assigned properly, ther's just a line for each assigning eth0 and eth1 respectively (can't include as it's not on the network, and there's no floppy drive). However, ifconfig shows no eth0 or eth1.
