Hi, folks--

We're slowly learning the ropes here, and have run into yet another
puzzle: in the 2.1.0 standard kernal, there are a number of NIC drivers
which list card 1 and card 2, eg ed0, ed1.  The 3com 3c509 lists only 1,
ep0.  Nevertheless, both the 3c509's we have installed are recognized on
the startup probes, so it KNOWS they are in the machine.  (Probably
stupid) Question: how do we utilize both those 3c509's? 

Thanks-- Larry
