Yep. I believe you have to add lines in the kernel to accomodate
them though. For example, if you have one 3Com 3C509 card in your
system it lives at:
ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa
You'd need to pick different I/O addresses and interrupts for
additional cards and make the appropriate changes in the kernel and
in etc/sysconfig.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong!
