Hello -

I am trying to configure my NetBSD 0.9 machine to support 
two NE2000 compatible cards.  I had just 1 in OK without 
any problems.  It had the following kernal config file entry:

device ne0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 5 vector neintr

This config worked great by itself.  
I then added the following line to my machine config file:

device ne1 at isa? port 0x340 irq 9 vector neintr

After building this kernal, I saw at startup that it was
recognizing the card as an NE1000 (not 2000!) - the following
lines appeared:

ne0: ne2000 ethernet address 00:c0:5e:34
ne1: ne1000 ethernet address 00:00:00:00

The output for ne1 looks completely wrong.  BOTH cards would not
work at this point.

Any hints? Am I wrong in the way I am configuring the kernal for 
the second NE2000? Thanks!
