Re: Question about PCI IDs and Drivers

I have 2 ethernet controllers in my machine.
The first, eth0, is a sis900. And is working well, withou problems,
and when I load the 8139 modules, my sis900 still works fine, but I
can't set up the eth1, it says that "No such device"

The kern.log doesn't says much, only that I've loaded the 8139too and
8139cp modules, nothing but this.
